Polimorfizm genów metaloproteinaz MMP-1 i MMP-2 w ocenie predyspozycji do zachorowania na raka krtani

Presented data suggest an implication of MMP-1 polymorphisms in the laryngeal carcinoma susceptibility. The presence of the MMP-1 2G allele seemed to be associated with increased risk for the disease. In summary, the current study have provided the evidence that an individual's risk for carcinoma of larynx is modulated by genetic factors.
