We also assessed the potential association between 2 functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes MMP9 (-1561C/T; rs3918242) and MMP13 (-77A/G; rs2252070), and the presence of large AAAs.
No associations with AAA were identified for other SNPs assessed in this study including rs1799750 (MMP1), rs3918242 (MMP9), rs486055 (MMP10), rs2276109 (MMP12), rs2252070 (MMP13), rs4898 (TIMP1) or rs9619311 (TIMP3).
