Helicobacter pylori infection possessing East-Asian-type CagA is associated with carcinogenesis. Mongolia has the highest mortality rate from gastric cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the CagA status in the Mongolian population. High risk and gastric cancer patients were determined using endoscopy and histological examination. H. pylori strains were isolated from different locations in Mongolia. The CagA subtypes (East-Asian-type or Western-type, based on sequencing of Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) segments) and vacA genotypes (s and m regions) were determined using PCR-based sequencing and PCR, respectively. In total, 368 patients were examined (341 gastritis, 10 peptic ulcer, and 17 gastric cancer). Sixty-two (16.8%) strains were cagA-negative and 306 (83.1%) were cagA-positive (293 Western-type, 12 East-Asian-type, and one hybrid type). All cagA-negative strains were isolated from gastritis patients. In the gastritis group, 78.6% (268/341) had Western-type CagA, 2.9% (10/341) had East-Asian-type, and 18.2% (61/341) were cagA-negative. However, all H. pylori from gastric cancer patients possessed Western-type CagA. Histological analyses showed that East-Asian-type CagA was the most virulent strains, followed by Western-type and cagA-negative strains. This finding agreed with the current consensus. CagA-positive strains were the most virulent type. However, the fact that different CagA types can explain the high incidence of gastric cancer might be inapplicable in Mongolia.

BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in Mongolia is among the highest in the world. METHODS: This was a case-control study in which upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, gastric histology, Helicobacter pylori testing, and risk factor questionnaires were obtained. Histologic subtypes were determined by Lauren's classification. RESULTS: We enrolled 45 gastric cancer and 108 non-gastric cancer patients. Gastric cancers were located in upper part of stomach in 53.3%, main gastric body in 37.8%, and lower part of stomach in 8.9%. The majority (60%) were diffuse type, followed by intestinal type (36.7%) and indeterminate type (3.3%). H. pylori infections were CagA positive in 100% with cancer vs 81% without cancer (P = .02). The majority of CagA was non-East Asian type (95% with cancer and 94.1% without cancer). Cancer patients had typically related with excessive use of salt, hot beverages, tobacco smoking, and low ingestion of fruits. CONCLUSION: The characteristic topography of gastric cancer in Mongolia being in the gastric corpus differed from East Asian countries and was more similar to western countries. The risk factors for gastric cancer in Mongolia were similar to other high-risk areas (ie, H. pylori infection, excessive use of salt, tobacco smoking, and low ingestion of fruits).
