Abstract EN
Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, peptic ulceration, and noncardia gastric cancer.
Several putative virulence factors for H.
pylori have been identified including vacA, babA, and iceA.
HopQ is one of the outer membrane proteins involved in bacterial adherence to gastric mucosa and has been suggested to also play a role in the virulence of H.
pylori.
Due to the substantial geographic differences in the prevalence of H.
pylori virulence factors reported, the main purpose of the current study was to investigate the association between different H.
pylori virulence hopQ alleles (types I and II) and patients with gastroduodenal disorders.
The presence of H.
pylori and hopQ alleles in gastric biopsy specimens was identified by specific PCR assays.
H.
pylori type II hopQ was found to be significantly associated with gastric cancer patients (odds ratio: 3.47, 95% CI: 1.56–5.89).
Information about the prevalence of H.
pylori hopQ type II can be used for determining the high-risk diseases type which is actually colonized by H.
pylori hopQ type II positive strains.
The presence of H.
pylori hopQ type II should be investigated in different geographical regions as confirmatory findings may provide a definite biomarker attributed to the pathogenesis of certain severe digestive diseases.
