## Abstract Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are endogenous inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases which are involved in normal cellular processes and also in cancer development and progression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate polymorphisms in the __TIMP‐2__ and __TIMP‐3__

## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) and ‐9 (MMP‐9) 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 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 −1,607 creates an Ets binding site and thus results in enhancing transcriptional activity. This study aimed t
