Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) play important roles in cancer development and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in some MMP genes were shown to confer susceptibility to certain cancers. This study examined the association between genotypes and haplotypes in the MMP1-MMP3-MMP12 gene cluster and risk of lung cancer development and metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A two-stage investigation was...
