Abstract excerpt
Recent studies demonstrated that a single guanine insertion polymorphism in a matrix metalloprotease-1 promoter created an Ets binding site and affected the elevation of the transcriptional level of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). Furthermore, in tumor cell lines derived from melanoma and breast cancer, the incidence of the 2G / 2G genotype was significantly higher than that in the normal population. To...
