30 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) is a multi-functional protein which has been shown to be up-regulated in patients with oral cancer, especially those with lymph node metastasis. However, the association of MMP2 genotype with oral cancer risk or metastatic behavior is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the role of MMP2 promoter 1306 and -735 genotypes in the risk of oral cancer and metastasis. MATERIALS AND...
