Background: cagA -positive and vacA s1 and m1 genotypes of Helicobacter pylori are associated with an elevated risk of gastric cancer (GC). We determined these genotypes using paraffin-embedded gastric biopsy specimens harvested from infected individuals and compared genotype distributions in two Colombian populations residing in geographic regions with a high and low incidence of GC.
Methods: DNA from paraffin-embedded gastric biopsies from 107 adults was amplified using primers specific for cagA , for the cag 'empty site', for the s and m alleles of vacA , and for H. pylori 16S rRNA.
Results: H. pylori infection was detected by molecular assays in 97 (90.7%) biopsies. Complete genotyping of cagA and vacA was achieved in 94 (96.9%) cases. The presence of cagA was detected in 78 of 97 cases (80.4%); when considered separately, cagA and vacA s regions were not significantly associated with a particular geographic area. The vacA m1 allele and s1m1 genotypes were more common in the area of high risk for GC ( p = .037 and p = .044, respectively), while the vacA m2 allele and s2m2 genotypes were more prevalent in the low-risk area. The prevalence of the combination of cagA -positive, vacA s1m1 genotypes was 84.3% and 60.5% for high and low risk areas, respectively ( p = .011).
Conclusions: H. pylori cagA and vacA genotyping from paraffin-embedded gastric biopsies permitted reliable typability and discrimination. The more virulent cagA- positive s1m1 strains, as well as vacA m1 genotype, were more prevalent in high risk than in low risk areas, which may contribute to the difference in GC risk between those two regions. 相似文献

The vacA and cagA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori exhibited distinct geographic distribution and correlation with severity of disease. In the above genotypes (obtained from 150 H. pylori-positive patients--139 with gastritis, 10 with ulcer and 1 patient with gastric cancer) combinations vacA s1/m1 and s2/m2 were detected using PCR in 75 and 25% of isolates, respectively, in patients with chronic gastritis. The of s1/m1 and s2/m2 combinations were also detected from ulcers (60 and 40%, respectively). The cagA was detected in 30% of isolates. Concentrated culture supernatants of 7 (64%) out of 11 H. pylori strains induced vacuolization in Vero cells in titers ranging from 1:5 to 1:40. The vacA s1 genotype was significantly associated with, but not predictive of the presence of vacuolating cytotoxin activity and the cagA gene. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastric inflammation and significantly increases the risk of duodenal and gastric ulcer disease and distal gastric carcinoma. In this study, we evaluated the Helicobacter pylori vacA and cagA genotypes in patients from a Brazilian region where there is a high prevalence of gastric cancer. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate vacA mosaicism and cagA status in the gastric mucosa of 134 H. pylori-positive patients, including 76 with gastritis: 28 with peptic ulcer disease and 30 with gastric cancer. The s1m1 variant was the predominant vacA genotype observed, whereas the s1 allele was more frequently observed in patients with more severe diseases associated with H. pylori infection [p = 0.03, odds ratio (OR) = 5.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.15-38.60]. Furthermore, all of the s1 alleles were s1b. Mixed vacA m1/m2 strains were found more frequently in patients with gastric cancer and a cagA-positive status was significantly associated with gastric cancer (p = 0.016, OR = 10.36, 95% CI = 1.35-217.31). Patients with gastric cancer (21/21, 100%, p = 0.006) or peptic ulcers (20/21, 95%, p = 0.02) were more frequently colonised by more virulent H. pylori strains compared to gastritis patients (41/61, 67.2%). In conclusion, in the northeastern of Brazil, which is one of the regions with the highest prevalence of gastric cancer in the country, infection with the most virulent H. pylori strains, carrying the cagA gene and s1m1 vacA alleles, predominates and is correlated with more severe H. pylori-associated diseases. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Associations between Helicobacter pylori gene diversity and gastric cancer have not been reported on in Costa Rica, despite its being one of the countries with the highest gastric cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of H. pylori cagA and vacA genes and investigate whether it could be correlated with atrophic gastritis (AG) and gastric cancer (GC) in Costa Rica. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic DNAs from isolates of 104 patients classified into two groups: non-atrophic gastritis group (n = 68) and atrophic gastritis group (n = 36), were subjected to PCR-based genotyping of cagA and vacA genes and their correlation with clinical outcome was investigated. Total DNA extractions from gastric tissues of 25 H. pylori-infected gastric cancer patients were utilized for comparative purposes. RESULTS: The presence of cagA (75.3%), vacA s1b (75.3%), and vacA m1 (74.2%) was detected, and colonization by strains with different vacA genotypes in the same stomach was found in 9.7% of the patients. Age- and sex-adjusted vacA s1b and vacA m1 were associated with GC while only vacA m1 was significantly associated with AG. A tendency for association between cagA and vacA s1b, and AG was reported. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence status of the cagA and vacA (s1/m1) genes in Costa Rica seems to fall between that found in European/North American and East Asian countries, and both cagA and vacA seem to have clinical relevance in this country. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate and develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for diagnosing and specific identification of virulent Helicobacter pylori strains and their main virulence genes cagA, cagE, cagT, vacA and hrgA. METHODS AND RESULTS: Genomic DNA from 82 gastric tissues was screened. A master pool of all the ingredients of multiplex reaction was prepared for amplification. Amplicons were sequenced to confirm the amplification of each target genes. Multiplex PCR assay was able to detect all the five target genes in 81.7% and deletions in one or more loci among 18.3%. Genotype cagT +ve/hrgA +ve/cagA +ve/cagE +ve/vacAs1 +ve was more predominant in this study population (67.07%). hrgA, cagT, cagE and cagA genes were present in 100%, 92.7%, 85.4% and 81.7% of the subjects, respectively. The vacAs1 subtype had higher prevalence frequency in patients with overt gastrointestinal disease (78.57%) than with GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) and NUD (non-ulcer dispepsia) (50%). CONCLUSIONS: The multiplex PCR assay developed herein was able to genotype H. pylori isolates based on the main virulence genes. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The ability to identify H. pylori and the majority of their virulence gene markers by multiplex PCR assay represents a considerable advancement over other PCR-based methods for genotyping H. pylori from large population, and can be explored to gain insights at the genotypic variability exhibited by this pathogen. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The babA2 gene, which encodes a blood-group antigen-binding adhesin that mediates attachment of Helicobacter pylori to human Lewis(b) antigens on gastric epithelial cells, has been associated with a higher risk of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the frequency of babA2 genotype in H. pylori strains of patients with peptic ulcer and to correlate with other virulence factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: vacA, cagA, and babA2 genotypes of H. pylori were determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA was extracted from positive urease test gastric samples of 150 patients with peptic ulcer. Antrum and corpus biopsies were taken for histologic examination according to the updated Sydney system classification. RESULTS: babA2 genotype was present in 104 (69.3%) and cagA in 113 (75.3%) gastric samples. No significant correlation was observed between babA2 and vacAs1 genotype or between babA2 and cagA status. The correlation of vacAs1 genotype with positive cagA was statistically significant ( p < .001). The babA2-positive strain was more frequently found from the gastric samples of men, than of women (p = .01). Strains harboring cagA, vacAs1, and babA2 genotypes had no association to the grading of gastritis, presence of glandular atrophy, or intestinal metaplasia. The simultaneous presence of cagA, vacAs1, and babA2 was found in 32.6% of the H. pylori strains. CONCLUSIONS: babA2 genotype is frequently found in H. pylori strains from peptic ulcer disease in Brazil, although it has no significant correlation to the worsening of the gastritis and to other virulence markers such as vacAs1 and cagA. 相似文献

Detection and typing of Helicobacter pylori cagA/vacA genes by radioactive,one-step polymerase chain reaction in stool samples from children 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The detection and molecular typing of Helicobacter pylori virulence genes in human stool specimens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) require an adequate amount of bacterial DNA and an appropriately adjusted PCR protocol. DNA was isolated from stool samples of 39 H. pylori-infected and nine uninfected Colombian children using the QIAamp Kit following the manufacturer's instructions but with modifications. DNA templates were amplified for the vacA s and m regions and for the cagA gene by PCR using radioactively labeled (32P) primers. The modifications in the standard Qiagen protocol of stool DNA extraction increased the final concentration of eluted total stool DNA 4.7 times (117 +/- 17 versus 22 +/- 3 ng/microl; P < 0.0001). Nevertheless, its amplification by regular PCR programs (30-40 cycles) did not generate visible signals because of the very low ratio of H. pylori DNA to other DNA. PCR for 80 cycles successfully amplified vacA in 36/39 samples (sensitivity, 92.3%) and cagA fragments in 21/39 (53.8%) fecal DNA samples. Both s and m vacA regions were amplified in 33/36 (91.7%) DNA samples. The s1m1 genotype was the most commonly isolated variant, accounting for 17/36 or 47.2% of positive samples. The s2m2 genotype was ascertained to be frequent also (14/36 or 38.9%). Almost all (94.1%) s1m1 genotypes were cagA positive. The majority of s2m2 genotypes (78.6%) were not associated with the cagA gene. Neither cagA nor vacA fragments were amplified from DNA isolates of H. pylori-uninfected children nor from DNA isolated from six gastrointestinal bacterial strains (specificity, 100%). The data suggest that the proposed modified technique of DNA extraction and PCR assay of stool samples may be an effective and reliable noninvasive tool for the detection and typing of H. pylori cagA/vacA virulence genes in infected individuals. 相似文献

For this study, we isolated Helicobacter pylori from wastewater by a series of steps beginning with immunomagnetic separation and cell culture. After Gram staining and three standard microbial tests, the 16S rRNA sequences of a total of 23 out of 37 putative H. pylori isolates were verified by PCR. Eleven H. pylori isolates were genotyped and fell into four vacA classes: those with the vacA allelic variants s1a and m1, s1b and m1, s2 and m2, or s2 and m1. Most H. pylori isolates were of the vacA s1a/m1 type, which has been shown to be associated with advanced diseases based on genotyping of H. pylori from gastric cancer patients. These results demonstrated that H. pylori survives in water and may be a potential source of H. pylori transmission, especially where water is not adequately treated. 相似文献

The cytotoxin-associated gene A ( cagA ), and the vacuolating cytotoxin gene A ( vacA ) products are considered the most important pathogenic determinants of Helicobacter pylori , a gram-negative bacterium causing gastrointestinal disorders such as duodenal ulcers, gastritis and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue disease. A higher prevalence of H. pylori has been reported in various regions in the Pakistani population; however, no data are available about the virulence-associated genetic determinants. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of virulence-associated genes, cagA, vacA and particularly vacA allelic variants among dyspeptic patients from Pakistan. Gastric biopsy samples were obtained from 78 adult patients presenting dyspepsia symptoms. DNA was isolated and analyzed for the presence of H. pylori and its genotypes by PCR. Genus-specific PCR involving 16S rRNA gene revealed that 66 of the 78 patients were positive for H. pylori , an overall prevalence of 84.6% for this particular study. The most common vacA genotype was s1b/m2 (54.5%) followed by s1a/m1 (19.7%). cagA was positive in 24.2% of the cases and strongly associated with s1a/m1, vacA . The prevalence of virulent cagA , and vacA allelic form s1a/m1 was lower than that reported from neighboring countries. 相似文献

文章从GenBank中下载所有含有vacA和cagA基因的H.pylori菌株的VacA和CagA全长氨基酸序列,利用ClastalX 2.0和MEGA 5.05软件构建VacA和CagA分子系统发育树,探讨两基因之间的分子系统发育关系和不同聚类群的临床感染结果与基因型特征。结果显示,VacA和CagA具有高度相似的分子系统发育树,并且所有H.pylori菌株在系统发育树中具有相同的分布特点,分别聚类为东亚株群1、2和西方株群3个聚类群。其中东亚株群1患萎缩性胃炎比例较高,vacA基因型以s1c/m1b和s1a/m1b为主,cagA基因型以EPIYA-ABD为主;东亚株群2患十二指肠溃疡的比例较高,vacA基因型以s1c/m2和s1a/m2为主,cagA基因型以EPIYA-AB’C为主;西方株群患十二指肠溃疡和胃炎的比例相当,萎缩性胃炎比例较低,vacA基因型以s1a/m1a和s1b/m1a为主,cagA基因型以EPIYA-AB/B’CC为主。这些结果说明,vacA和cagA基因可能具有共进化的遗传关系;东亚株群1、2和西方株群分别具有不同的vacA和cagA基因亚型,这可能与其临床感染结果密切相关,因此,在进行H.pylori相关性疾病分析时,有必要结合vacA和cagA基因型的亚型做深入分析。 相似文献

It has been reported that Helicobacter pylori infection with the type I strain, which expresses the VacA and CagA antigens, is associated with duodenal ulcer. We examined the diversity of vacA and cagA genes in 143 isolates obtained from patients with duodenal ulcer or chronic gastritis in East Asia (two different areas of Japan, Fukui and Okinawa, and also in Hangzhou, China) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis. Diversities of cagA and vacA genes were detected in East Asia. The prevalence of cagA-positive H. pylori was significantly different between Fukui and Okinawa (P=0.0032). The prevalence of Western type CagA was significantly higher in Okinawa than in Fukui (P<0.0001). However, there was no significant association between the genotype of cagA and clinical outcome. In Japan, the predominant vacA genotype was s1c/m1b. In contrast, in Hangzhou, the predominant vacA genotype was s1c/m2, and they were all East Asian CagA-positive. These findings suggest that a distinct distribution of the vacA and cagA genotypes is present in East Asia, regardless of clinical outcome. 相似文献

The Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin gene, vacA, is naturally polymorphic, the two most diverse regions being the signal region (which can be type s1 or s2) and the mid region (m1 or m2). Previous work has shown which features of vacA make peptic ulcer and gastric cancer-associated type s1/m1 and s1/m2 strains toxic. vacA s2/m2 strains are associated with lower peptic ulcer and gastric cancer risk and are non-toxic. We now define the features of vacA that determine the non-toxicity of these strains. To do this, we deleted parts of vacA and constructed isogenic hybrid strains in which regions of vacA were exchanged between toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains. We showed that a naturally occurring 12-amino acid hydrophilic N-terminal extension found on s2 VacA blocks vacuolating activity as its removal (to make the strain s1-like) confers activity. The mid region of s2/m2 vacA does not cause the non-vacuolating phenotype, but if VacA is unblocked, it confers cell line specificity of vacuolation as in natural s1/m2 strains. Chromosomal replacement of vacA in a non-toxigenic strain with vacA from a toxigenic strain confers full vacuolating activity proving that this activity is entirely controlled by elements within vacA. This work defines why H. pylori strains with different vacA allelic structures have differing toxicity and provides a rational basis for vacA typing schemes. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to analyze several clones of Helicobacter pylori isolated from a patient with gastric cancer, to evaluate i) genetic variability ii) virulence factors profile and iii) antimicrobial susceptibility against the drugs commonly used in the H. pylori therapy. A total of 32 H. pylori clones isolated from a biopsy sample coming from a patient with gastric cancer previously treated for H. pylori infection, were analyzed for: the genetic variability by amplified fragment polymorphism analysis; the vacA, cagA virulence status by PCR; the antimicrobial susceptibility by minimum inhibitory concentrations with the agar dilution method towards amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin and tinidazole. The patient showed a mixed infection with the presence of at least 3 different strains. The clones isolated possessed the vacA, cagA virulence factors with a different allelic combination (vacA s1/i1/m1; s1/i1i2/m1; s2/i2/m2; s2/i1i2/m2) together with repeated cagA EPIYA motif pattern P1P2P3P3P3. Moreover, a pattern of multi-drug resistance was disclosed in the different clones. The presence of multiple H. pylori strains colonizing the same patient, with the main virulence factors displaying a different allelic combination and a different multi-drug resistance among isolates, point out the role of genetic variability generating, in time, more virulent and adapted strains. 相似文献

To compare the genomic variation of Helicobacter pylori in samples obtained from patients with perforated peptic ulcer, living in the same area of Estonia but belonging to different nationalities, 50 non-consecutive patients (32 Estonians and 18 Russians) admitted in the Tartu University Hospital in 1997-1999 were studied. Gastric samples of antral mucosa were obtained during operation and analysed histologically and with PCR for detection of different genotypes of H. pylori (cagA and vacA s and m subtypes). Among the 50 perforated peptic ulcer patients with histologically proven H. pylori colonisation no sample of gastric mucosa showed the s1b subtype of the vacA gene. The perforated peptic ulcer patients were mainly infected with cagA (82%) and s1 (98%) genotypes of H. pylori. The distribution of s1a/m1, s1a/m2 and s2/m2 subtypes of vacA genes was statistically different in Estonian and Russian patients (P<0.05). In conclusion differences in the distribution of vacA s and m subtypes of H. pylori were revealed between Estonian and Russian patients with perforated peptic ulcer from Southern Estonia. 相似文献

We have examined the prevalence of gene cagA and vacA alleles in 129 patients, 69 with gastritis and 60 with peptic ulcer diseases from North Brazil and their relation with histopathological data. vacA and cagA genotype were determined by polymerase chain reaction. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for histological diagnosis. 96.6% of the patients were colonized by Helicobacter pylori strains harboring single vacA genotype (nont-mixed infection). Among them, 11.8% had subtype s1a, 67.8% had subtype s1b, and 17% subtype s2. In regard to the middle region analysis, m1 alleles were found in 75.4% and m2 in 21.2% of patients. The cagA gene was detected in 78% patients infected with H. pylori and was associated with the s1-m1 vacA genotype. The H. pylori strains, vacA s1b m1/cagA-positive, were associated with increased risk of peptic ulcer disease and higher amounts of lymphocytic and neutrophilic infiltrates and the presence of intestinal metaplasia. These findings show that cagA and vacA genotyping may have clinical relevance in Brazil. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer have been shown to be related toinfection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Two major virulence factors of H. pylori,CagA and VacA, have been associated with these sequelae of the infection. In this study, totalDNA was isolated from gastric biopsy specimens to assess the cagA and vacA genotypes. RESULTS: Variations in H. pylori cagA EPIYA motifs and the mosaic structure of vacA s/m/i/dayregions were analysed in 155 H. pylori-positive gastric biopsies from 71 individuals usingPCR and sequencing. Analysis of a possible association between cagA and vacA genotypesand gastroduodenal pathogenesis was made by logistic regression analysis. We found that H. pylori strains with variation in the number of cagA EPIYA motif variants present in the samebiopsy correlated with peptic ulcer, while occurrence of two or more EPIYA-C motifs wasassociated with atrophy in the gastric mucosa. No statistically significant relation betweenvacA genotypes and gastroduodenal pathogenesis was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that cagA genotypes may be important determinants in thedevelopment of gastroduodenal sequelae of H. pylori infection. In contrast to other studies,vacA genotypes were not related to disease progression or outcome. In order to fullyunderstand the relations between cagA, vacA and gastroduodenal pathogenesis, themechanisms by which CagA and VacA act and interact need to be further investigated. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Distinct virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori have been associated with clinical outcome of the infection; however, considerable variations have been reported from different geographic regions and data on genotypes of Turkish H. pylori isolates are sparse. AIM: To determine the prevalence of specific genotypes of H. pylori in Turkish patients with dyspepsia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-three H. pylori-positive patients [30 with non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD), 30 with duodenal ulcer (DU), and 33 with gastric cancer (GC)] who were admitted to our endoscopy unit due to dyspepsia were enrolled in the study. H. pylori infection was confirmed in all patients by histology and rapid urease test (RUT). The presence of vacA alleles, cagA, cagE, iceA, and babA2 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical comparisons and multivariate regression analysis was performed to find out independent predictors of different clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Turkish strains examined predominantly possessed the vacA s1,m2 (48.4%) and s1,m1 (40.7%) genotypes. The vacA s1a genotype was detected in 66.7, 96.4, and 87.9% of isolates from patients with NUD, DU, and GC, respectively, and its presence was significantly associated with that of DU (p = .004), GC (p = .043), and cagA gene (p = .021). None of the cases was found to harbor the s1c genotype. The frequencies of the cagA and cagE genes among studied isolates were 73.6 and 59.3%, respectively. The cagA gene was significantly associated with the presence of DU (p = .004) and GC (p = .003), and the cagE gene, too, was significantly associated with the presence of DU (p = .002) and GC (p = .000). All H. pylori isolates possessed the iceA gene. In all, 68 isolates (74.7%) were positive for iceA1 and 23 (25.3%) for iceA2. The frequency of icea1 gene was significantly higher in cases with GC (85%) than in cases with NUD (60%) (p = .026). The frequency of babA2 gene was 23.3, 46.4, and 87.9% in isolates of patients with NUD, DU, and GC, respectively. When compared to cases with NUD (p = .000) and DU (p = .000), the presence of babA2 gene was significantly higher in cases with GC. Multivariate regression analysis disclosed cagE (p = .006) and vacA s1a (p = .027) genotypes to be independent predictors of DU and babA2 (p = .000) and cagE (p = .013) genotypes to be independent predictors of GC. CONCLUSIONS: H. pylori vacA s1a, cagA, cagE genotypes have significant relations with the presence of DU and GC, and iceA1, babA2 with GC in Turkish patients with dyspepsia, whereas cagE and vacA s1a genotypes are independent predictors of DU, and babA2 and cagE genotypes are independent predictors of GC. 相似文献

The frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in population can depend on the organism resistance, genetic condition, and bacterial strains virulence. A vacA gene, of mosaic structure, which encodes vacuolating cytotoxin is one of the known genes of H. pylori. The existence of several different genotypes of s and m regions enables the formation of numerous combinations of vacA gene genome. The studies on vacA genotype revealed that the frequency of occurrence of H. pylori containing s1 or s2, as well as m1 and m2 alleles varies in different parts of the world. The aim of the studies performed in the group of children and adults was to evaluate the prevalence of particular vacA gene alleles distribution in the population of the Podlasie province. The allele s1, which occurred in 84.3% of the examined group (86.8% in children and 81.3% in adults), turned out to be the most frequently observed of the signal encoding region. Statistically significant differences in s1 and s2 alleles distribution in relation to a dwelling place were not detected. The allele m2 (42.1% in children and 59% in adults) was the allele of midregion, most frequently occurring in our studies. The allele m2 was observed more often in H. pylori strains in the inhabitants from the urban areas (data statistically significant). 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was any correlation between Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases and (1) H. pylori virulence genes or (2) IL-1B, IL-1RN, IFN-G, TNF-A, IL-10 genetic polymorphisms. Patients with non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC, n=129) or benign gastroduodenal diseases (n=792) were studied. IL-1RN intron 2 VNTR polymorphism (PCR), IL-1B -31 C/T (RFLP), the SNPs of IFN-G (+874 A/T), TNF-A (-1031 C/T, -857 C/T, -376 A/G, -308 A/G, -238 A/G), IL-10 (-1082 A/G, -819 C/T, -592 A/C) (Taqman chemistry) were studied. cagA, s1 and m1 vacA, were PCR amplified. Duodenal ulcer was more frequent in TNF-A -857 TT and in IL-1RN 1,2 subjects. TNF-A -857 TT genotype was also correlated with gastric ulcer. IL-10 -819 TT genotype was associated with intestinal metaplasia and NCGC. Antral inflammation was associated with TNF-A -1031 TT, while corpus activity with IL-10 -819 CC. H. pylori infection was associated with TNF-A -308 AG genotype, while IFN-G +874 AA genotype was associated with cagA. In conclusion, among host genetic factors contributing to H. pylori disease outcome, IFN-G +874 AA genotype favors cagA positive infections, TNF-A -857 TT duodenal ulcer while IL-10 -819 TT intestinal metaplasia and NCGC. 相似文献
