Association of the Gelatinase B/Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) Gene Haplotype in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in the Pediatric Egyptian Population

Association of the Gelatinase B/Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) Gene Haplotype in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in the Pediatric Egyptian Population

Permanent systemic inflammation is a defining feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects multiple organs. Gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an essential protease investigated in inflammation that has been linked to SLE. The study’s objective was to investigate the...
