Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) plays important roles in cancer initiation and progression. Our previous studies revealed that the -1306C-->T and -735C-->T polymorphisms in MMP2 promoter significantly influence transcriptional activity and their genotypes and haplotypes are associated with susceptibility to several cancers. This case-control study examined the contribution of these two polymorphisms to the...
