Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to investigate the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) genotypes in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to analyze the genotypes of MMP-8 C-799T (rs11225395), Val436Ala (rs34009635), and Lys460Thr (rs35866072) in 362 patients with CRC...
