Abstract:Objective: Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) family is one of the potential genetic risk factors for the development of cerebrovascular disease such as ischemic stroke. Excessive MMP-1 protein production occurs and MMP-1 enzyme activity increases as a result of MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) gene variation. Thus, the sensitivity to ischemic stroke can be modulated. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to investigate the effect of MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) gene variation in development of ischemic stroke disease in the Thrace po… Show more
