Abstract excerpt
AIM: Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are a family of multifunctional proteins whose expression has been shown to be up-regulated in various types of cancer. However, the contribution of TIMPs to lung cancer is not known. The present study aimed to evaluate the contribution of TIMP1 rs4898, rs6609533 and rs2070584 genetic polymorphisms to the risk of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The...
