Abstract excerpt
MMP (matrix metalloproteinase)-7-a potent extracellular matrix degrading enzyme-is emerging as a new regulator of cardiovascular diseases. However, potential contributions of MMP7 genetic variations to hypertension remain unknown. In this study, we probed for the association of a tag single-nucleotide polymorphism in the MMP7 promoter (-181A/G; rs11568818) with hypertension in an urban South Indian population...
