Biospecimen Collection to Identify Gene Mutations for High Risk Pancreatic Cancer in Pediatric Patients, INSPPIRE 2 Study

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To comprehensively characterize the pediatric population with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) and determine predictors of early onset CP and its sequelae.
