The Interrelationship between Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A, Vacuolating Cytotoxin, and Helicobacter pylori-Related Diseases [PDF]
The interrelationship between cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases was investigated in 155 H. pylori-infected patients. Four (7%) of 60 subjects had mixed cagA+ and cagA- H. pylori infections. The H. pylori isolates from 98.3% of 121 patients with anti-CagA antibodies were cagA+. The

Frequency of Helicobacter pylori and cytotoxine associated gene A antibodies in patients with cardiac syndrome X [PDF]
Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition in which patients have the pain of angina despite normal coronary angiogram. Recently, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria has been associated with CSX. However, there is no obvious data about the frequency of its virulent strain (cytotoxine associated gene A: CagA) in patients with CSX.

Helicobacter pylori Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A (cagA) and Vacuolating Cytotoxin Gene A (vacA) Genotypes in Gastrointestinal Patients From Central Thailand. [PDF]
Introduction The development of diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely linked to its virulence genes, which vary by geographic region. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of H. pylori cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin gene A (vacA) genes and their genotypes in patients with ...

Polymorphism in autophagy-related genes LRP1 and CAPZA1 may promote gastric mucosal atrophy
Background Helicobacter pylori secretes cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) into the gastric epithelium, causing gastric mucosal atrophy (GMA) and gastric cancer. In contrast, host cells degrade CagA via autophagy.

The effect of CagA status on response to Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in Western Turkey
If cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) status affects the response rates of therapy, then it may be possible to predict Helicobacter pylori eradication rates. We aimed to evaluate the response to eradication treatment of H.

Helicobacter Pylori Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A (CagA) and Gastric Carcinoma [PDF]
Gastric cancer is a highly lethal disease. Establishment of H. pylori infection as a risk factor for this malignancy help identifying persons at increased risk. Studying the association between the genotypes of H pylori virulence factors and gastric carcinoma would have clinical implications in selecting patients who would benefit from H.

Helicobacter pylori Infection Maybe a Risk Factor for Cardiac Syndrome X
PurposeCardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition with normal coronary angiography but angina pectoris. Chronic inflammation caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection may play a pathogenic role in CSX.
