Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in several steps of cancer development. A single nucleotide polymorphism (-1306C-->T) in the MMP2 promoter sequence disrupts an Sp1 site and thus results in strikingly lower promoter activity. We examined the relationship between this polymorphism and risk for lung cancer in 781 cases and 852 age- and sex-matched controls in a Chinese population. We found...
