Demonstration and Characterization of Mutations Induced by <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Organisms in Gastric Epithelial Cells
13 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori gastritis increases gastric cancer risk. Microsatellite instability-type mutations are secondary to deficient DNA mismatch repair. H. pylori gastritis is more frequent in patients with microsatellite instability-positive gastric cancers, and H. pylori organisms independently of inflammation can reduce DNA mismatch repair protein levels, raising the hypothesis that H. pylori...
