Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation induced by Helicobacter pylori is a key process in gastric carcinogenesis. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms in important mediators of H. pylori-induced inflammation may influence the risk of developing various grades of precancerous lesions. We studied the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (PTGS1 and PTGS2), inducible nitric oxide...
