Helicobacter pylori seropositivity (A) and serum pepsinogen (PG) I/PG II ratio (B) in 22 patients positive for the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutation in relation to gastric lesions. (A) The rate of H pylori seropositivity in patients positive for the APC mutation with fundic gland polyposis (FGP) (17%) was significantly lower than in those without FGP (30%) (Fisher’s exact probability test, p<0.005). H pylori positivity in patients positive for the APC mutation with gastric adenoma (GA) (58%) was higher than in those without GA (30%) but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.18). (B) PG I/PG II ratio in patients positive for the APC mutation with FGP was significantly higher than in those without FGP (Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.005) while the ratio in those with GA was significantly lower than those without GA (p<0.05).
