Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in the genes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). Here we investigate the association between MMP-1 -1607 1G/2G and MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A genetic polymorphisms and etiological subtypes of IS in the Han Chinese population. METHODS: A total of 640 eligible patients with IS and 637 age- and gender-matched apparently...
