Association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms in the extracellular matrix metalloprotease-9 gene with PACG in southern China.

Abstract

The SNP rs2250889 located in MMP-9 might be associated with PACG among southern Chinese people, and people with the G/G genotype are likely more susceptible to PACG. In contrast, the SNP rs17576 in MMP-9 might not be related to PACG in the same population.
