Synergistic effect of collagenase-1 (MMP1), stromelysin-1 (MMP3) and gelatinase-B (MMP9) gene polymorphisms in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracellular matrix degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is an important mechanism involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Genetic variations of MMPs have shown association with multiple cancers. The present study is focused to elucidate the association of MMP-1, 3 and 9 genetic variants with respect to epidemiological and clinicopathological variables by haplotype, LD, MDR, survival in silico analyses among South Indian women.

Material and methods

MMP3-1171 5A/6A and MMP9-1562 C/T SNPs were genotyped by Allele specific polymerase chain reaction and MMP1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism by restriction fragment length polymorphism assays respectively, in 300 BC patients and age-matched 300 healthy controls. Statistical analysis was performed using the SNPStat
