Background:  The Met470Val polymorphism (1540A&gt;G [rs213950]) within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein has been reported to be associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The results remain inconclusive, and therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to clarify the association between M470V and CP risk.  Methodology/Results:  We conducted a meta-analysis of 7 case-control studies, including a total of 1121 CP patients and 2209 controls from Asian and Caucasian populations. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Met470Val was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of CP under all the genetic models (M vs. V, OR = 1.260, 95% CI: 1.134-1.399; MV vs. VV, OR = 1.292, 95% CI: 1.091-1.530; MM vs. VV, OR = 1.579, 95% CI: 1.274-1.956; MV/MV vs. VV, OR = 1.366, 95% CI: 1.165-1.603; MM vs. MV/VV, OR = 1.346, 95% CI: 1.114-1.621). Met470Val was also found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of idiopathic CP (ICP) in allele contrast, codominant, and recessive models (M vs. V, OR = 1.298, 95% CI: 1.020-1.653; MV vs. VV, OR = 1.297, 95% CI: 1.074-1.566; MM vs. VV, OR = 1.473, 95% CI: 1.165-1.862; MM vs. MV/VV, OR = 1.254, 95% CI: 1.023-1.538).  Conclusions:  The CFTR 470 M allele is significantly associated with an increased risk of CP in both Asian and Caucasian populations. The CFTR 470 M allele is also significantly associated with risk of ICP.
