Association of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP‑2) and MMP‑9 Promoter Variants, their Serum Levels, and Activities with Aortic Valve Calcification (AVC) in a Population from Western Iran
2022-04-12
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme gene polymorphisms, particularly MMP- 2 -1575G / A and MMP-9-1562 C / T promoter polymorphism, also their serum levels and activity were reported to have an association with aortic valve calcification (AVC). We investigated the possible relationship between allele A of MMP-2 and T allele of MMP-9 in synchrony and synergism and risk of AVC. 92 cases...
