Common variants in CLDN2 and MORC4 genes confer disease susceptibility in patients with chronic pancreatitis
A recent Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) identified association with variants in X-linked CLDN2 and MORC4 and PRSS1-PRSS2 loci with Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) in North American patients of European ancestry. We selected 9 variants from the reported GWAS and replicated the association with CP in Indian patients by genotyping 1807 unrelated Indians of Indo-European ethnicity, including 519 patients with CP and 1288 controls. The etiology of CP was idiopathic in 83.62% and alcoholic in 16.38% of 519 patients. Our study confirmed a significant association of 2 variants in CLDN2 gene (rs4409525—OR 1.71, P = 1.38 x 10-09; rs12008279—OR 1.56, P = 1.53 x 10-04) and 2 variants in MORC4 gene (rs12688220—OR 1.72, P = 9.20 x 10-09; rs6622126—OR 1.75, P = 4.04x10-05) in Indian patients with CP. We also found significant association at PRSS1-PRSS2 locus (OR 0.60; P = 9.92 x 10-06) and SAMD12-TNFRSF11B (OR 0.49, 95% CI [0.31–0.78], P = 0.0027). A variant in the gene MORC4 (rs12688220) showed significant interaction with alcohol (OR for homozygous and heterozygous risk allele -14.62 and 1.51 respectively, P = 0.0068) suggesting gene-environment interaction. A combined analysis of the genes CLDN2 and MORC4 based on an effective risk allele score revealed a higher percentage of individuals homozygous for the risk allele in CP cases with 5.09 fold enhanced risk in individuals with 7 or more effective risk alleles compared with individuals with 3 or less risk alleles (P = 1.88 x 10-14). Genetic variants in CLDN2 and MORC4 genes were associated with CP in Indian patients

Raw genotype information for samples for all studied SNPs
*Sex chromosomal SNP
For sex chromosomal SNP, genotype for male hemizygote has been coded as homozygote genotype for corresponding allele.
Sex (1=Male; 2=Female), Pheno (1=Case, 2=Control)
Combined risk analysis to determine the effect of increase in number of ‘effective’ risk alleles with risk of CP.
<p>On <i>y</i>-axis OR and 95% CI are plotted, corresponding to number of effective risk alleles on the <i>x</i>-axis. Number in parenthesis on the <i>x</i>-axis indicates Sample size in each category. For every unit increase in the number of effective’ risk allele, the OR is 1.20 and <i>P</i> value 7.30 x 10<sup>-08</sup>.</p
