Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase 10 (MMP-10) has a close relationship with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) and cerebral infarction. The MMP-10 rs17435959 polymorphism causes a leucine to valine transition at codon 4 in exon 1 of the MMP-10 gene and may have functional effects. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between the MMP-10 rs17435959 polymorphism and the formation and stability of CAS plaques....
