    ObjectivesTo assess the correlation between a number of genetic variations of CYP2C19, TNF-α, NOD1, NOD2, and PPARγ genes with the severity of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections and peptic ulcers (PU).MethodsA retrospective cross-sectional design was used in this study. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue was used to extract genomic DNA that was collected from Jordanian patients who visited endoscopy clinics between 2014 to 2018 at the King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH), Irbid, Jordan. Genotyping of the studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were applied using the sequencing protocol. Results:  A total of 251 patients (mean age: 42.12 ± 16.09 years) and healthy controls (mean age: 52.76 ± 19.45 years) were enrolled in this study. This study showed no significant association between patients and the studied polymorphisms except for rs2075820 of the NOD1 (p=0.0046). It is hypothesized that the heterozygous genotype (TC); 44.8% in patients versus 61.3% in controls has a decreased risk of peptic ulcers (OR:  0.49). The alleles frequency association was insignificant in all studied SNPs with a p-value more than 0.05.ConclusionThis study provided evidence regarding the association of the rs2075820 with H. pylori infections. The other studied SNPs were not statistically significant.
