Association of R279Q and C1562T polymorphisms of matrix metalloproteinase 9 gene and increased risk for myocardial infarction in patients with premature coronary artery disease.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A number of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene polymorphisms has been identified which may be probably related to premature myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE: We assessed the relationship between the two polymorphisms of the MMP9 gene including R279Q and C1562T and occurrence of premature MI. METHODS: The study has two phases including a case-control study as the first phase and cohort study as...
