Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify whether the presence of any of the PAI genes or segments – , promoter, , , , , and the left end of the II (LEC) region – would be a useful marker for the risk of peptic ulcer disease development. DNA extracted from positive urease tests of 150 peptic ulcer patients and 65 dyspeptic controls was analysed by PCR. Duodenal ulcers were present in 110, gastric ulcers in 23 and both gastric and duodenal ulcers in 17 patients. A significant association ( <0.001) was found between a conserved PAI and peptic ulcer disease (34 %). The positivity of the gene varied according to the region of the gene that was amplified. The region near to the promoter was present in almost all of the isolates (97.2 %). The segment from nt 1764 to 2083 and the extreme right end were frequently deleted in the isolates from the controls ( <0.01). The positivity of the promoter region of and , , and LEC showed a significant difference between the isolates from peptic ulcer patients and from the controls ( <0.01). Patients usually had moderate gastritis; however, the intensity of the active inflammation was higher in the peptic ulcer group ( <0.001). , , LEC and the right end terminus of the -positive isolates were associated with a 27-fold, 8-fold, 4-fold and 4-fold risk of peptic ulcer disease, respectively, and may be useful markers to identify individuals at higher risk of peptic ulcer disease development in Brazil.
