Core Tip	Gastric carcinogenesis is a multistep process that is triggered by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and characterised by multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations, including the DNA repair genes. To date, few advances have been made to determine the time duration required for to H. pylori infection to induce such epigenetics alteration and thus potentially induce gastric carcinogenesis. The results presented in this study indicate that the methylation of the MGMT and MLH1 promoter regions might depend on the duration of infection because these methylation events were not observed in children.
