Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1, MMP2, MMP3 and MMP9 are important members of the MMP family. Recently, many studies have been carried out on the association between polymorphisms of MMP1-1607 1G/2G, MMP2-735 C/T, MMP2-1306 C/T, MMP3-1171 5A/6A and MMP9-1562 C/T and lung cancer risk. However the results of these studies remained inconclusive due to conflicting results from different case-control...
