  1. Risk and safe genotypes are overrepresented amongst isolates from patients with gastric cancer and non-atrophic gastritis respectively, with p value corresponding to the minimum in each gene (p value ≤ 1 × 10−6)
  2. 1Position in ELS37 genome [ ], + and – strand is denoted in ( )
  3. 2Position in gene
  4. 3Frequency GC strains/NAG strains
  5. 4The effect on the amino acid sequence is indicated as synonymous (S) and non-synonymous (NS)
