Abstract.Introduction: Histamine plays a crucial role in the regulation of gastric acid secretion, which is involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer. Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) is the major metabolizing enzyme for histamine inactivation in human stomach.Objective: This study aims to determine whether there exists a relationship between HNMT gene polymorphisms and the risk for gastric ulcer (GU).Methods: 118 GU patients and 154 ethnically matched control subjects were enrolled and… CONTINUE READING
