Variation in the matrix metalloproteinase‐3, ‐7, ‐12 and ‐13 genes is associated with functional status in rheumatoid arthritis
19 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
As matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis, we investigated whether variation in MMP genes was associated with functional disability in rheumatoid arthritis patients. A cohort of patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis were recruited and genotyped for the MMP1-1607 1G > 2G, MMP3-1612 5A > 6A, MMP7-153C > T, MMP7-181G > A, MMP12-82A > G and MMP13-77A > G...
