Background: Cytokines and their gene variants are proven to play a role in pathogenic gastritis and carcinogenesis. The study assesses associations of the cytokine gene polymorphisms with extension of atrophic gastritis/intestinal metaplasia (AGIM) in patients without Helicobacter pylori infection on immunohistochemistry study. Methods: 224 adult consecutive patients undergoing an upper digestive endoscopy were included and grouped according to localization of AGIM: 37 patients with antrum-limited AGIM, 21 corpus-limited AGIM, 15 extended-AGIM (antrum and corpus) and 151 patients had no AGIM. Medical records of the patients were checked and a structured direct interview was applied in order to collect clinical data, including digestive symptoms. In all cases, IFN-γ +874T&gt;A, TGF-β1 +869T&gt;C, TNF-α -308G&gt;A and -238G&gt;A, and IL-6 - 174C&gt;G polymorphisms were genotyped. Results: The mean age was significantly higher in the AGIM group, while the comorbidies were similar among patients with different localization of lesions or in patients without AGIM. There were no significant differences in digestive symptoms, nor in the consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or proton pump inhibitor with the different extensions of AGIM. There was a significant association between oral anticoagulant consumption and localization of AGIM ( P = 0.042), frequency being higher among patients with corpus-limited AGIM than those with no AGIM ( P = 0.007, adjusted P = 0.041). TGF-β1 +869T&gt;C was less frequent among patients with corpus-limited AGIM ( n =7, 33.3%) and extended AGIM ( n =5, 33.3%) than in antrum-limited AGIM ( n =25, 67.6%). There were no other significant differences regarding variant and wild genotype frequencies of IFN-γ +874T&gt;A (86.5%, 81.0%, 86.7%, p=0.814), TNF-α -308G&gt;A (35.1%, 28.6%, 53.3%, p=0.48) and IL-6 - 174C&gt;G (70.3%. 61.9%, 73.3% p=0.656) among patients with antrum-limited, corpus-limited or extended AGIM. TGF-β1 +869T&gt;C was associated with a decreased risk for corpus-affected AGIM (adjusted odds ratio: 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.19-0.93, P = 0.032). The dominant inheritance models no revealed significant association for IFN-γ +874T&gt;A, TNF-α -308G&gt;A and IL-6 - 174C&gt;G gene polymorphism and the risk of localization of AGIM. Conclusion:  TGF-β1 +869T&gt;C gene polymorphism is associated with a decreased risk for corporeal localization of premalignant lesions, while IFN-γ +874T&gt;A, TNF-α -308G&gt;A and IL-6 - 174C&gt;G are not associated with the risk for AGIM in immunohistochemically H. pylori negative patients.
