We performed genotyping for CTLA4 (49 A/G, -318 C/T, and CT60 A/G) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha promoter (-857 C/T, -863 C/A, and -1031 C/T) by use of PCR sequence-specific primers and direct sequencing, respectively, in 46 patients with AIP, 78 patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP), and 200 healthy individuals.
