Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We investigated the association between CRP variants and chronic gastritis in H. pylori-infected patients at the allele, genotype, and haplotype levels. This was also assessed according to serum hs-CRP levels. METHODS: Study subjects consisted of 77 H. pylori-infected patients and 96 H. pylori-negative controls. Genotyping of the CRP rs1572970, rs876537, rs2794520, rs2808630, rs1130864, ,...
