Abstract:
What's new? Variations in immune genes appear to play an important role in determining susceptibility to gastric cancer linked to Helicobacter pylori colonization of gastric mucosa. However, little is known about the influence of variation on anatomical localization and histological subtype of this malignancy. The results of this study first confirm that NOD2 and CD14 , which encode proteins that recognize H. pylori lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan, are significantly associated with gastric cancer risk and second indicate that NOD2 associates with noncardia and CD14 with cardia gastric cancer. The differential effects of variation on the anatomical localization of disease warrant further investigation.
