📊

Genetic mutation detected; associated with increased risk of pancreatitis. Consult genetic counselor for management.

📊

No mutations detected in tested genes; pancreatitis may have non-genetic causes.

📊

Genetic change found but clinical significance unknown; further testing or family studies may be needed.
