Matrix metalloproteinase-2, -9, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 gene polymorphisms in Taiwanese periodontitis patients

Matrix metalloproteinase-2, -9, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 gene polymorphisms in Taiwanese periodontitis patients

Background/purpose: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMPs) have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of tissue destruction in periodontitis. The associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of MMP-2, MMP-9, and...
