Overview

The incidence of hereditary pancreatitis is approximately 3.5–10 per 100,000 individuals in Europe and the USA. In Western countries, the prevalence was found to be 0.3/100 000. Hereditary pancreatitis commonly affects younger age group. The median age at which first diagnosis is made is 19 years. The median age at which the symptoms develop is 10 years.
