The alleles IL-1β-31C and IL-1RN were associated with an increased risk of developing gastric carcinoma, and IL-1β-511T with an increased risk of developing chronic atrophic gastritiswith no significant association of developing gastric carcinoma.
IL1B-1464-G/C genotype was associated with lower incidence of AG in corpus of the stomach in Asians [odds ratio: 0.7 (95% confidence interval=0.5-0.8); P=0.02].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between IL1B and IL1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms and the risk of multifocal atrophic gastritis in African Americans and Caucasians.
Proinflammatory IL-1 polymorphisms (IL-1RN*2(+)/IL-1B-511T/-31C(+)) were associated with increased IL-1beta expression, more severe degrees of inflammation, and an increased prevalence of IM and AG.
We investigated the influence of bacterial virulence factors and host IL-1 polymorphisms on the development of histologic abnormalities in 210 Helicobacter pylori-infected patients with chronic gastritis. cagA(+)/vacAs1(+) H. pylori strains were associated with intestinal metaplasia (IM), atrophic gastritis (AG), and severe inflammation.
The alleles IL-1β-31C and IL-1RN were associated with an increased risk of developing gastric carcinoma, and IL-1β-511T with an increased risk of developing chronic atrophic gastritiswith no significant association of developing gastric carcinoma.
Moreover, the iceA2/IL-1B-511T and iceA2/IL-1B-31C/-511T/IL-1RN(*)2 bacteria/host genotype combinations showed a significant association with AG and L2/L3, respectively.
Proinflammatory IL-1 polymorphisms (IL-1RN*2(+)/IL-1B-511T/-31C(+)) were associated with increased IL-1beta expression, more severe degrees of inflammation, and an increased prevalence of IM and AG.
The highest prevalence of severe gastric abnormalities was found in patients with both host and bacterial high-risk genotypes (cagA(+)/vacAs1(+)/IL-1B -511T/IL-1RN*2), with ORs of 24.8 (95% CI, 5.2-117.3) for severe lymphocytic infiltration, 9.5 (95% CI, 2.8-32.1) for severe granulocytic infiltration, 6.0 (95% CI, 2.4-15.5) for IM, and 2.4 (95% CI, 0.93-6.2) for AG.
The present GWAS revealed the genetic locus of PSCA as the most significant locus for the risk of HP-induced GA, which confirmed the recently reported association in Europeans.
PSCArs2294008 C>T polymorphism was assessed in H. pylori-positive Japanese patients (n = 488) with noncardia gastric cancer (n = 193), gastric ulcer (n = 84), duodenal ulcer (n = 61), and atrophic gastritis (n = 150), as well as in H. pylori-negatives (n = 266).
Frequent hypermethylation including that of CDH1 in AM increased in the GC group compared to the AG group, and CDH1 methylation was an independent predictive marker of GC (OR: 8.50, 95% CI: 2.64-25.33, p = 0.0003).
Among those participants with atrophic gastritis without metaplasia, 19.4% (6 of 25) contained KRAS mutations, indicating that mutation of this important gene is likely an early event in the etiology of gastric carcinoma.
Participants with atrophic gastritis (PGI < 30 μg/L or a PGI: PGII < 3.0) had shorter LTL than did those without: mean difference - 0.18 (95% CI - 0.32, - 0.04).
The aim of the study was to estimate the value of detecting pepsinogen (PG) I, PGII, and gastrin-17 (G-17) levels in serum for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) screening and to determine the clinical applicability of combined measurement of serum G-17, pepsinogens (PGI, PGII) and PGI/PGII ratio (PGR) as a screening test for CAG.

Pepsinogens, gastrin-17, and anti-H. pylori antibodies serum assays seem to be reliable non-invasive screening tools for the presence of CAG, helpful to identify individuals to refer to gastroscopy with five standard gastric biopsies in order to obtain histological confirmation of diagnosis.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term PPIs use on the gastrin levels in patients with atrophic gastritis and to determine factors affecting hypergastrinemia in long-term users of PPIs.
