Abstract: BACKGROUND The association between matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9) gene -1562C/T (rs3918242) polymorphism and the susceptibility of ischemic stroke(IS) has been investigated. However, results were ambiguous and inconsistent. Therefore, we performed this study to better assess the… read more here.
