Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MMP-1, MMP-8, and MMP-13 genes and the risk of oral mucositis development in paediatric patients with leukaemia and lymphoma who are undergoing methotrexate (MTX) treatment. MTX is associated with inflammatory effects and oxidative stress, which activate MMPs, enzymes responsible for degrading the...
