Since the bacterium has not been isolated from atherosclerotic lesions a direct role in atherogenesis is not plausible. We examined associations of plasma total homocysteine tHcy and serum folate independent risk factors for atherosclerosis with H. pylori infection and subsequent gastric atrophy among 174 patients 78 males and 96 females aged 20 to 73 years who visited an H. pylori eradication clinic of Nagoya University from July 2004 to October 2005. Polymorphism genotyping was conducted for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase MTHFR C677T and thymidylate synthase TS 28-bp tandem repeats by PCR with confronting two-pair primers and PCR respectively.
