Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: There have been reports showing the protective role of inducible heat-shock protein (HSP) 70 in gastric epithelial cells. An A to G transition at the 1267 position HSP70-2 gene has been shown to be associated with a different level of HSP70 mRNA expression. We aimed to clarify the effect of HSP70-2 polymorphism on the risk of peptic ulcer diseases in a Japanese population. METHODOLOGY: A total of...
