Abstract
In a recent study, Rafiei et al, reported a link between a C150T polymorphism in the human inducible nitric oxide gene and Helicobacter pylori infection as a risk factor for gastric cancer among an Iranian population. Subsequently, Abadi and Kusters published a letter to the editor questioning the validity of the study because of a supposed flaw in primer design. Here we respond to the claims of Abadi and Kusters and show that the results reported in the original article are valid.
