Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have sought associations between matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) polymorphisms and breast cancer risk. However, these studies have yielded conflicting results. Hence, we performed an updated meta-analysis to clarify the effects of four MMP-9 gene polymorphisms (rs3918242, rs2250889, rs3787268, and rs17576) on breast cancer risk. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search for...
