Association of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) Gene Polymorphisms With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Review of the Literature
8 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Progressive matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-induced degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the articular cartilage is one of the major pathogenic osteoarthritis (OA) events. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding MMPs have been identified as affecting MMP expression, production, and enzymatic activity. This study systematically reviews the literature regarding the association...
