However, the frequency of the rs17576 G allele was significantly higher in TBE patients with severe CNS diseases such as meningo-encephalitis (43.5%) when compared with TBE patients with milder meningitis (26.3%; P = 0.01), as well as with the population control group (32.5%; P = 0.042).
Association of R279Q and C1562T polymorphisms of matrix metalloproteinase 9 gene and increased risk for myocardial infarction in patients with premature coronary artery disease.
MMP9 279QQ (rs17576) was more frequently observed in individuals whose both parents had a history of GC (n = 23) and in individuals for whom one parent and their sibling(s) had a history of GC (n = 36) compared with those with no family history (n = 3816) [30.4 % vs 11.6 %, OR 4.34, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.45-13.03 and 16.7 % vs 11.6 %, OR 2.26, 95 % CI 0.81-6.27 after adjustment for age, sex, and current smoking].
Thus, the data demonstrated that the rare allele of MMP9 rs17576 was associated with poor pain recovery, whereas the rare allele of OPRM1 rs1799971 was associated with better pain recovery at 5-year follow-up in the LBP and LRP patients.

We did not find association between the examined genetic variants of MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 and PD susceptibility.This is the first study that demonstrated a protective effect of TIMP-1 rs4898 C allele on male PD and a modest association of MMP-9 rs17576 AA genotype with PD susceptibility in the Taiwan population.
There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of MMP2-735 C > T polymorphism rates.In conclusion, MMP9 gene Gln279Arg polymorphism was associated with ET, SP, and PV diseases.
Five functional polymorphisms in MMP-2 (-1575G>A [rs243866] and -1306C>T [rs243865]), MMP-3 (-1612 5A/6A [rs3025058]), and MMP-9 (-1562C>T [rs3918242] and 2678G>A [rs17576]) genes were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assays in a cohort of 236 controls and 138 POIs.
There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of MMP2-735 C > T polymorphism rates.In conclusion, MMP9 gene Gln279Arg polymorphism was associated with ET, SP, and PV diseases.
We investigated the association between polymorphisms in the MMP2 (rs243865), MMP9 (rs17576), and MMP13 (rs2252070) genes with tooth agenesis in humans.
The investigated MMP-9 polymorphisms influenced gene- and protein expression differently and the R279Q polymorphism associated significantly with hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to determine if polymorphisms in MMP2 (rs243865), MMP9 (rs17576), MMP13 (rs2252070), and TIMP2 (rs7501477) were associated with caries.
