Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 promoter polymorphism 1G/2G is associated with an increased risk of developing various cancers including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and is in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the MMP-3 promoter polymorphism 5A/6A. These two genes are lo...
