Background
Genetic variations in the genes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may play an important
role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). Here we investigate the association
between MMP-1 −1607 1G/2G and MMP-3 −1171 5A/6A genetic polymorphisms and etiological subtypes of IS in the Han Chinese
population.
Methods
A total of 640 eligible patients with IS and 637 age- and gender-matched apparently
healthy volunteers were enrolled. Subtypes of IS were classified by Trial of Org 10172
in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. MMP-1 (−1607 1G/2G) and MMP-3 (−1171 5A/6A) polymorphisms were evaluated using polymerase chain reaction-restriction
fragment length polymorphism.
Results
The frequencies of the 5A/6A + 5A/5A genotypes and 5A allele were significantly higher
in patients with IS than in controls (P < .001, P < .001, respectively). No association was found between MMP-1 1G/2G polymorphism and overall IS. In subgroup analyses, MMP-1 1G/2G and 2G/2G genotypes increased the risk of small-artery occlusion (SAO) subtype
(multivariate-adjusted, P < .001, P = .002, respectively), and MMP-3 5A/6A + 5A/5A genotypes were related with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subtype
(multivariate-adjusted, P < .001). Haplotype analyses indicated that 2G-6A and 1G-5A increased the risk of SAO
(multivariate-adjusted, P = .029) and LAA (multivariate-adjusted, P < .001), respectively.
Conclusions
MMP-1 (−1607 1G/2G) and MMP-3 (−1171 5A/6A) polymorphisms may contribute to different subtypes of IS susceptibility.
