Sequence Analysis and Clinical Significance of the iceA Gene from Helicobacter pylori Strains in Japan

Abstract excerpt

The Helicobacter pylori iceA gene was recently identified as a genetic marker for the development of peptic ulcer in a Western population. To assess the significance of iceA subtypes of H. pylori in relation to peptic ulcer, 140 Japanese clinical isolates (88 from Fukui and 52 from Okinawa) were characterized. Sequence analysis of the iceA1 gene from 25 representative Japanese strains was also carried out to...
