Polymorphism +17 C/G in Matrix Metalloprotease MMP8 decreases lung cancer risk

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) constitute a family of enzymes capable of degrading different components of the extracellular matrix and are implicated in the invasion of tumor cells through the basement membrane. Polymorphisms in MMP genes may result in changes in the expression of MMPs...
