Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study was conducted to investigate the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Kawasaki disease (KD) in the Korean population. MAIN METHODS: A total 0f 101 KD patients and 306 healthy controls were examined. MMP7 (rs10502001, G/A, Arg77His), MMP11 (rs738792, T/C, Ala38Val), MMP12 (rs652438, A/G, Ile357Val) and MMP26 (rs2499953, A/G, Lys43Glu)...
