Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Polymorphisms within the promoter region of several matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes have been linked to alterations in the level of transcription. We hypothesized that an individual's MMP genotype and haplotype will influence breast tumor progression and help predict prognosis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: This study has evaluated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the promoter...
