DNA sequence analysis of cagA 3′ motifs of Helicobacter pylori strains from patients with peptic ulcer diseases
3 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori cagA gene is a major virulence factor that plays an important role in gastric pathologies. DNA sequence data for the cagA 3' region of Western isolates differ markedly in their EPIYA motifs from those of East Asian isolates. An increase in the number of these motifs is known to be associated with gastric cancer. Whether such an association is also the case for peptic ulceration was...
