Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of H. pylori virulence factors CagA, VacA and the phenotypes of CYP2C19 enzyme polymorphism in patients with peptic ulcer disease who have not received any H. pylori eradication therapy
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 216 patients with peptic ulcer disease at American International Hospital from October 2019 to September 2022. The CagA, VacA genes, and CYP2C19 enzyme-encoding genes were identified using PCR techniques.
Results: Among 216 patients, the mean age was 42.85 ± 11.76. H. pylori strains with CagA (+) virulence factor accounted for 72.69%, while CagA (-) strains accounted for 27.31%. There was no significant gender difference in CagA distribution (p = 0.488). All patients with peptic ulcer disease harbored H. pylori strains with VacA virulence, with the s1m1 type being the most common (50%). No significant difference in the distribution of VacA virulence by gender was observed (p = 0.78). There was a significant difference in VacA distribution between CagA (+) and CagA (-) groups. Patients with intermediate CYP2C19 metabolism phenotypes had the highest prevalence at 49.07%, followed by strong metabolizers (39.35%) and poor metabolizers (11.58%). There was no significant difference in CYP2C19 enzyme metabolism phenotypes between males and females (p = 0.454).
Conclusion: In untreated patients with H.pylori-induced peptic ulcer disease, CagA (+) genotype and VacA s1m1 genotype were predominant. These strains are associated with more severe tissue damage and higher activity levels compared to others. Patients with intermediate and strong CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotypes were relatively common. These patients may experience altered metabolism of proton pump inhibitors, which could impact treatment outcomes for peptic ulcer disease and H. pylori eradication.
