Core Tip
Core tip: Considering the relevance of DNA repair mechanisms in the maintenance of genome integrity and the role of epigenetics in its regulation on gastric carcinogenesis, in this review, we highlight the effects of Helicobacter pylori infection on the modulation of epigenetics mechanisms regulating DNA repair pathways associated with gastric carcinogenesis.
