Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Aberrant tissue expression of matrix metalloproteinases has been observed in acne. Our objective was to study the relevance of MMP-2 (-1306 C/T, rs243865) and TIMP-2 (-418 G/C, rs8179090) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in acne and post-acne scarring. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 512 patients (169 having acne without scarring, 319 having atrophic acne scarring, 24 having hypertrophic acne...
