Abstract
Abstract:
Numerous studies investigating an association between the matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) gene rs1799750 polymorphism and breast cancer (BC) risk have reported inconsistent results. Therefore, this meta-analysis was undertaken to obtain a more precise estimate of the possible association between this genetic locus and BC susceptibility.
Methods:
Eight eligible studies involving 3439 cases and 3517 controls were identified by searching the PubMed, Google, CNKI, and EMBASE databases systematically through October 1, 2020.
Results:
The MMP-1 rs1799750 polymorphism was associated with a reduced BC risk in the overall study population under the heterozygous model. Stratification analyses indicated that this association is strong in Asians.
Conclusion:
There is evidence of a negative association between the mmp-1 rs17799750 polymorphism and BC susceptibility.
