Polymorphism in autophagy-related genes LRP1 and CAPZA1 may promote gastric mucosal atrophy

Abstract 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. However, the association between polymorphisms in autophagy-related genes and...
