Association of Polymorphisms of the Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Gene with Ischaemic Stroke in a Southern Chinese Population

Association of Polymorphisms of the Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Gene with Ischaemic Stroke in a Southern Chinese Population

Background/Aims: Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), a potent endopeptidase degrading extracellular matrix, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ischaemic stroke (IS). The present study was undertaken to determine the association of MMP9 gene polymorphisms and the risk of IS in a southern Chin...
