The Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) 5A/6A Promoter Polymorphism Is Not Associated with Ischaemic Heart Disease: Analysis Employing a Family Based Approach

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) has been proposed as an important mediator of the atherosclerotic process. The possible role of the functional -1612 5A/6A polymorphism of the MMP-3 gene in the susceptibility to ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was investigated in a well-defined Irish population usin...
