Association between matrix metallopeptidase 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus coexisting with coronary heart disease in a Han Chinese population
“Association between matrix metallopeptidase 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus coexisting with coronary heart disease in a Han Chinese population”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, Matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP-1) has been reported to be involved in the coexistence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD). We sought to examine the association between the MMP-1 gene polymorphism and coexistence of T2DM and CHD in a Han Chinese population. We extracted genomic DNA from the peripheral blood of 794 subjects, including 378 patients with coexisting T2DM and CHD and 416 healthy controls.
