Genome-wide Association Scan Identifies Variants near Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) Genes on Chromosome 11q21-22 Strongly Associated with Serum MMP-1 Levels

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) may play a role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility by influencing plaque rupture via its ability to degrade extracellular collagens. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a genome-wide association analysis of circulating MMP-1 levels using 500K...
