Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Scars develop at the end of the natural wound-healing process and are characterized by excessive collagen deposition, particularly types I and III collagen. This study aimed to investigate the genetic association of COL1A1 -1997 G/T (rs1107946) and COL1A1 Sp1 +1245 G/T (rs1800012) polymorphisms with the incidence of scars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case-control association study was conducted with...
