Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is associated with cancer invasion and metastasis. The 2G allele of the polymorphic site in the MMP-1 promoter was demonstrated to have a higher transcription activity than the 1G allele. Allelic imbalance (AI) at 11q22 harboring the MMP-1 is frequently observed in various cancers and may be associated with an advanced disease. We conducted a case-control study to determine the...
