Abstract excerpt
Dupuytren's Disease (DD) is a common fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia. We previously identified a causal association with a non-synonymous variant (rs1042704, p.D273N) in MMP14 (encoding MT1-MMP). In this study, we investigated the functional consequences of this variant, and demonstrated that the variant MT1-MMP (MT1-N273) exhibits only 17% of cell surface collagenolytic activity compared to the...
