Association of The Myeloperoxidase −463G→A Polymorphism With Development of Atrophy in Helicobacter Pylori -Infected Gastritis

Abstract

These results suggest that myeloperoxidase genotype is a critical determinant in the pathogenesis of atrophic gastritis subsequent to H. pylori infection. More work is needed to clarify the functional relevance of myeloperoxidase genetic polymorphisms to gastric cell injury.
