Cytokine gene polymorphisms influence mucosal cytokine expression, gastric inflammation, and host specific colonisation during Helicobacter pylori infection
9 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent studies linked cytokine gene polymorphisms to H pylori related gastric cancer development. The current study evaluated the role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for mucosal cytokine expression, the gastric inflammatory response, and bacterial colonisation during H pylori infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 207 H pylori infected patients with chronic gastritis, polymorphisms at different...
