Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC). However, there is limited research on the role of MMP-2 genotypes in BC risk. This study aimed to investigate the associations between two MMP-2 promoter polymorphisms, rs243865 and rs2285053, and BC risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MMP-2 genotypes were analyzed using PCR-based RFLP methodology in a...
