Abstract excerpt
Stromelysin is a member of the family of metalloproteinases that degrade extracellular matrix. In situ hybridisation and histopathological studies suggest that stromelysin activity may be important in the connective tissue remodelling processes associated with atherogenesis and plaque rupture. Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis identified a common polymorphism in the stromelysin gene promoter...
