Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) has a prominent role in collagen turnover in blood vessels and vascular remodeling. The contribution of regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms in MMP8 to cardiovascular diseases is unclear. We aimed to delineate the influence of MMP8 promoter variations on hypertension. METHODS: A case-control study in unrelated individuals ( n = 2565) was carried out....
