Fig 1. The association of histological findings and genotypes in Helicobacter pylori Nepalese strains.

(A) The vacA s1 genotype had significantly greater antrum mucosal atrophy than the vacA s2 genotype. Inflammation in the corpus was more highly associated with the Western-type-cagA than East-Asian-type-cagA type (B), and with the non-deletion type than the deletion type (C). The specific South Asian genotype had higher levels of activity and inflammation in the corpus than the recombination genotype (D).
