摘要：Helicobacter pylori is a causative pathogen of many gastric and extra-gastric diseases. It has infected about half of the global population. There were no genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for H. pylori infection conducted in Chinese population, who carried different and relatively homogenous strain of H. pylori. In this work, we performed SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)-based, gene-based and pathway-based genome-wide association analyses to investigate the genetic basis of host susceptibility to H. pylori infection in 480 Chinese individuals. We also profiled the composition and function of the gut microbiota between H. pylori infection cases and controls. We found several genes and pathways associated with H. pylori infection ( P < 0.05), replicated one previously reported SNP rs10004195 in TLR1 gene region ( P = 0.02). We also found that glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis related pathway was associated with both onset and progression of H. pylori infection. In the gut microbiome association study, we identified 2 species, 3 genera and several pathways had differential abundance between H. pylori infected cases and controls. This paper is the first GWAS for H. pylori infection in Chinese population, and we combined the genetic and microbial data to comprehensively discuss the basis of host susceptibility to H. pylori infection.
