Prognostic Significance of MMP2 and MMP9 Functional Promoter Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Prognostic Significance of MMP2 and MMP9 Functional Promoter Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Objective(s)Matrix metalloproteinases comprise a family of enzyme that is able to degrade components of extra cellular matrix. There are single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter regions of several genes with ability to influence cancer susceptibility. The aim of this study was to analyses ass...
