Aim:

To study the IL1B-511 and TNF-A-308 polymorphisms and their possible association with gastric cancer (GC) precursor lesions in a population infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) of low risk area of GC of Nariño.

Material/method:

105 patients with symptoms of dyspepsia were included, 81 infected with H. pylori, (n=63) with non-atrophic gastritis and (n=18) with precursor lesions of GC of Tumaco: population of low risk of GC. Gastric lesions were classified by the Sydney System an H. pylori by Giemsa staining. The IL1B-511 and TNFA-308 polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR-RFLPs. Polymorphisms and their association with gastric lesions were evaluated by bivariate analysis and binomial logistic regression.

Results:

Patients carryng the mutant T allele (IL-1B-511) were not at risk of precursor lesions of malignancy (OR=0,7). The OR was not calculated for TNF-A-308, by fixing the normal allele G. Being a man and being infected with H. pylori increases 4,3 times the risk of presenting precursor lesions of GC and not being linked to the health regimen increases 6,7 times the risk of gastric atrophy, (OR=4,27 and OR=6,72), respectively.

Conclusion:

The mutant T allele (IL-1B-511) is a resistance biomarker of Tumaco residents, low risk of GC and infected with H. pylori to suffer precursor lesions of GC.
