Abstract excerpt
The genotypes of Helicobacter pylori flaA, cagA, vacA, and iceA were determined for DNA isolated from patients with chronic gastritis or peptic ulcer in eastern Taiwan. The vacA gene encoding the s1a subtype was found to predominate in peptic ulcer patients, and the iceA1 genotype was associated with chronic gastritis. cagA and flaA genes were not found to be associated with these types of disease.
