Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study was to explore the correlations between genetic variants in MMP2-1306C/T, TIMP2 2379C/T, TIMP2 303G/A and the genetic susceptibility to gastric carcinoma (GC) in Fujian province, China. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted. Polymorphisms of MMP2-1306C/T, TIMP2 2379C/T, TIMP2 303G/A in 479 gastric carcinoma patients and 469 cancer-free controls, frequency-matched by age and sex, were...
