NCT ID NCT07289451

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a specific gene (TLR9) influences how children's bodies react to H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach pain and inflammation. Researchers compared 50 infected children with 50 uninfected children, all aged 1 to 18, using endoscopy and genetic testing. The goal was to understand the gene's role in infection and gastritis, not to test a new treatment.
