Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIM: The studies about the roles of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in pterygium diagnosis and/or prognosis are mainly based on their mRNA and protein levels, while the genomic roles of MMPs are seldom examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of MMP-9 genotypes to pterygium risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MMP-9 rs3918242 was genotyped in 134 pterygium cases and 268 controls via...
