Abstract excerpt
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), which plays a critical role in the base excision DNA repair mechanism, and matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2), a member of the matrix metalloprotease family, are involved in tumor formation and metastasis, respectively. In the present study, the possible association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene-gene interaction between PARP1 and MMP2 with the increased...
