A possible role of IL-1RN gene polymorphism in the outcome of gastrointestinal diseases associated with H. pylori infection

Abstract: ObjectiveTo verify whether the variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the IL-1RN gene that encodes the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) plays a role in the outcome of gastrointestinal diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.MethodsPatients with normal endoscopy (n = 71), inflammation of the upper gastrointestinal tract only (n = 196), gastric ulcer (n = 28), duodenal ulcer (n = 76), and gastric cancer (n = 19) were studied. H. pylori infection was diag… Show more

“…Patients with dyspeptic symptoms underwent an upper endoscopy. H. pylori infection was determined by the rapid urease test [ 24 ] and histology [ 25 ], using gastric mucosal biopsies of the antrum and body. Patients with positive results in the two methods were included in the trial.…”
