Abstract excerpt
Arterial disease is associated with elevated serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 concentration. We studied the role of two promoter region single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MMP-8 gene in the arterial disease. The population comprised patients with arterial disease (n = 124) and healthy blood donors (n = 100) as a reference group for MMP-8 SNPs (-799C/T and -381A/G) genotypes and serum concentrations....
