Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that can breakdown almost all extracellular matrix components. MMP8 and MMP9 have been shown to be associated with breast cancer (BC) risk in European and American populations. However, few studies have focused on the polymorphisms of MMP8 and MMP9 in Chinese Han BC patients. We investigated nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
