Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be the prominent health problem in India, and its incidence is growing in developing countries as well. Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP 1) is highly expressed in disruption-prone shoulder regions of the fibrous plaques. The present study aims to investigate association of MMP 1 gene polymorphisms (-1607 1G/2G) and serum circulating levels with CAD. The study includes 300...
