## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinaseβ2 (MMPβ2) and β9 (MMPβ9) play an important role in cancer initiation, invasion, and metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether common genetic variants in these two key MMPs are associated with the development and progression of colorectal cance
## Abstract A variety of susceptibility genes have been associated with cancer but definitive conclusions have been difficult to draw partly hampered by the small number of subjects in each study. We undertook a comprehensive genetic metaβanalysis of all matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes investi
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in several steps of cancer development. A single guanine insertion polymorphism (2G) in the __MMP1__ promoter sequence at β1,607 creates an Ets binding site and thus results in enhancing transcriptional activity. This study aimed t
