Pathogenesis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: what role do Helicobacter pylori and host genetic factors play?
Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-125049
ABSTRACT
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a multifactorial disease. The roles of environmental, dietary, and host physiological factors are well established. However, the plausible role of Helicobacter pylori infection in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is still controversial. Furthermore, the role of host genetic factors remains unidentified. Extensive PubMed review of the previous literature has revealed that H. pylori may be negatively associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Ethnic or inter-individual variations in response to H. pylori infection may also determine disease outcome. Thus, host genetic factors may play an important role in deciding the final outcome of disease. Limited studies have shown that homEM ofCYP2C19, b allele (val105) ofGSTP1, T allele of IL1B-31, 2/2 genotype of IL1RN +2018, 2/2 genotype of IL-10-1082, A/A genotype of CCND1 G870A, and homozygous variant of XPC PAT gene are potential risk factors for the development of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or its complications such as Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. There is scant data on the relationship between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and H. pylori in India, and therefore, further studies are directly required to explore this issue.
