Studies have demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is involved in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, there is no information available on the association of MMP-3 5A/6A polymorphism with recurrent ischemic stroke (IS) in different IS subtypes. We investigated the potential associations between MMP-3 serum level and -1171 5A/6A polymorphism and the recurrence of IS in a...
