Matrix metalloproteinase-1 polymorphism (-1607G) and disease severity in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in Taiwan.

Matrix metalloproteinase-1 polymorphism (-1607G) and disease severity in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in Taiwan.

OBJECTIVES: Bronchiectasis is characterized by an irreversible dilatation of bronchi and is associated with lung fibrosis. MMP-1 polymorphism may alter its transcriptional activity, and differentially modulate bronchial destruction and lung fibrosis. DESIGN: To investigate the association of MMP-1 p...
