Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori vacA, cagA and iceA genotypes and correlation with clinical outcome

چکیده
The aim of this study was to assess the genetic status of cagA, vacA subtype and iceA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori and the relationship with upper gastrointestinal diseases in Northeast China. Gastric biopsies were obtained from 378 patients with upper gastrointestinal diseases and 197 samples were used. The cagA, vacA alleles and iceA genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction. CagA was present in 176 (89.3%) of 197 patients. Of the 197 cases, 186 (94.4%) had vacA signal sequence s1c allele, 6 (3%) had s1a and 5 (2.5%) had s1b. The vacA s2 genotype was not detected in our study. VacA middle region sequences, m1 and m2, were found in 20 (10.2%) and 150 (76.1%), respectively. The allelic variant iceA1 (70.1%) was more prevalent than iceA2 (23.4%). The vacA allele s1am2 had a significant relationship with the presence of gastric cancer (p<0.05) and the iceA1 genotype was also associated with gastric cancer (p<0.05). These may be useful risk factors for upper gastrointestinal diseases.

Infection with Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease in children and its consequences in adulthood can lead to serious complications, including in particular the development of gastric cancer. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of selected genes such as cagA, vacA, iceA, and babA2 determining pathogenicity of H. pylori str...

There is continuing interest in identifying Helicobacter pylori virulence factors that might predict the risk for symptomatic clinical outcomes. It has been proposed that iceA and cagA genes are such markers and can identify patients with peptic ulcers. We compared H. pylori isolates from four countries, looking at the cagA and vacA genotypes, iceA alleles, and presentation of the infection. We...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Helicobacter pylori has been strongly associated with peptic ulcer diseases, chronic gastritis, ulcers, and reported as a risk factor for gastric cancer, too. The vaculating cytotoxin (vacA), the cytotoxin associated genes (cagA), the induced by contact with epithelium factor antigen (iceA gene), blood adhesion binding antigen (babA2), and outer membrane protein oipA h...

The clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection has been particularly associated with virulence genotypes. These genotypes are useful as molecular markers in the identification of patients that are infected and at high risk for developing more severe gastric pathologies. Our main objective was to determine the prevalence of virulence genotypes cagA, vacA, iceA and babA2 of H. pylori, in p...
