Abstract excerpt
The 1G/2G polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) affects activity of the promoter in transient transfections, and has been associated with the incidence or invasiveness of five types of cancer. In light of these findings, and because stromal cells may contribute to tumor cell invasion...
