Polymorphisms in MMP family and TIMP genes and carotid artery intima-media thickness.

Stroke - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Genetic variation in a number of MMP and TIMP genes have been implicated as risk factors for atherosclerosis, although such studies have been generally small and produced conflicting results. We have therefore sought to address this issue in a large, well-phenotyped community population to assess the effect of a number of polymorphisms in both MMP and TIMP genes on carotid artery...
