Abstract:Background
Understanding the genetic and molecular pathophysiology of lymphedema contributes to the identification of the complex interaction of genes associated with lymphedema and provides a key therapeutic opportunity to restore lymphatic function. This study aims to answer whether the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1030868 in the MMP-2 gene could be an associated variant in lymphedema development.
