Cancer-related genetic variants of Helicobacter pylori strains. Helicobacter pylori

A clear understanding of the H. pylori genome factors underlying GC is necessary to develop more effective methods to prevent GC. A single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing-based H. pylori genome-wide association study analysis was performed using the H. pylori genome present in five early-stage GC (EGC) and five non-GC clinical DNA samples recovered from gastric washes.
