Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) control the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix and their genetic polymorphisms may contribute to cancer susceptibility. The aim of this study was to reveal the genotypes of MMP8 among the Taiwanese and examine the contribution of MMP8 C-799T, Val436Ala and Lys460Thr polymorphisms to bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MMP8 C-799T, Val436Ala and Lys460Thr...
