Digenic Inheritance and Gene-Environment Interaction in a Patient With Hypertriglyceridemia and Acute Pancreatitis

Digenic Inheritance and Gene-Environment Interaction in a Patient With Hypertriglyceridemia and Acute Pancreatitis

The etiology of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and acute pancreatitis (AP) is complex. Herein, we dissected the underlying etiology in a patient with HTG and AP. The patient had a 20-year history of heavy alcohol consumption and an 8-year history of mild HTG. He was hospitalized for alcohol-triggered AP...
