Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) overexpression has been implicated in the pathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Accumulating evidence suggests that MMP promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) effecting gene transcription are associated with enhanced susceptibility for the development of malignant disease, increased tumour invasiveness and poor patient survival. The aim of the current investigation...
