Oxidative DNA damage in gastric cancer: CagA status and OGG1 gene polymorphism
25 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Oxidative DNA damage is thought to play an important part in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-induced mucosal damage. 8-OHdG is a sensitive marker of DNA oxidation and is repaired by a polymorphic glycosylase (OGG1) more effectively than by OGG1-Cys(326). The aims of this study were to ascertain the respective roles of H. pylori, cagA status and OGG1 polymorphism in determining 8-OHdG levels in benign and...
