The gastric cancers were categorized into baseline-level LOH (LOH-B), low-level LOH (LOH-L), high-level LOH (LOH-H) and microsatellite instability (MSI). The details are described in the material and methods section.

*H. pylori-positive gastric mucosa and gastric cancers were compared with H. pylori-negative gastric mucosa. Significant differences were determined using Fisher's exact test (P < 0.01).
