Genetic polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 does not affect plasma MMP-9 activity in healthy subjects

Plasma MMP-9 levels have been shown to predict cardiovascular risk, and a functional substitution C to T at position − 1562 in the promoter region of the MMP-9 gene has been associated with the severity of cardiovascular diseases. We examined the association between the C − 1562 T polymorphism and M...
