Abstract excerpt
Growing evidences show that matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) plays important roles in tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis. MMP1 -1607 1G>2G is a single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region of MMP1 and affects MMP1 production. Analysis of previous studies on the association of -1607 1G>2G polymorphism with different cancer types remained to be illustrated. To further assess the effect of -1607 1G>2G...
