Article Synopsis
- CagA is an oncoprotein that disrupts gastric epithelial cells and promotes inflammation, contributing to atrophic gastritis, a precursor to gastric cancer.
- There is limited research on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in autophagy-related genes and their connection to atrophic gastritis.
- This study analyzed SNP frequencies in 200 subjects, identifying a significant association between specific genotypes and gastric mucosal atrophy, which could help identify patients at risk for gastric cancer who may need early intervention.
