Helicobacter pylori infection could induce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of gastric diseases. Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), is part of the enzymatic antioxidant defense, preventing oxidative damage. The aim of the present study was to assess the association of GPX1 Pro¹⁹⁸Leu genotypes with gastric cancer in patients with and without H. pylori infection in a population of Northern Iran. The present case-control study consisted of 50 patients with gastric cancer and 78 cancer-free subjects as controls. Extraction of DNA was performed on bioptic samples and the GPX1 genotypes were identified using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The frequencies of GPX1 Pro/Pro, Pro/Leu and Leu/Leu genotypes in controls were 21.8, 71.8 and 6.4%, respectively. However, in gastric cancer patients, the frequencies of 34, 56 and 10% were observed for Pro/Pro, Pro/Leu and Leu/Leu genotypes, respectively (p = 0.185). In 38 (76%) patients infected with H. pylori, the frequencies of Pro and Leu alleles were 94.7 and 3.3%, respectively. There was a higher frequency of combined genotype of Pro/Leu + Leu/Leu (94.7%) in H. pylori positive patients than that in patients without H. pylori infection (75%, p = 0.047). The presence of this genotype tended to increase the risk of H. pylori related gastric cancer by 5.88–fold (p = 0.069) in our population. Our findings indicated the absence of association between the GPX1 Pro¹⁹⁸Leu polymorphism and the risk of gastric cancer in an Iranian population. However, we detected an association between H. pylori related gastric cancer with GPX1 Pro/Leu + Leu/Leu genotype.
