Abstract excerpt
A Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) Asp299Gly and Thr399Ileu substitution reduces responsiveness to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) lipopolysaccharide. CagA+ strains of H. pylori are known to be associated with gastroduodenal diseases. Therefore we aimed to evaluate association of TLR-4 substitutions and CagA seropositivity with gastritis and precancerous lesions in a northern Indian population. After upper...
