Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Polymorphisms, such as a guanine inserted at position -1607 in the promoter region of human matrix metalloprotenase 1 (MMP-1) or a C-1562T substitution in the MMP-9 gene, have been shown to increase the transcriptional activity of these MMPs. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between these polymorphisms and early implant failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA...
