OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the MMP-8-799C / T(rs11225395) polymorphism and the risk for myocardial infarction( MI) in Chinese Han population. METHODS The genotypes of the MMP-8-799C / T( rs11225395) polymorphism were determined in 153 myocardial infarction patients and 275 control blood donors by polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction(PCR-LDR). Association between the polymorphism and the risk for myocardial infarction was evaluated using unconditional Logistic regression...
