Prognostic significance of mmp-1, mmp-3, and mthfr genetic polymorphism for evaluation of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis progression
Carriage of hyperactive alleles of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) gene is associated with enhanced growth of various neoplasias in humans. When studying the frequency of promoter variants of MMP -1 and -3 genes in 170 patients with uterine leiomyoma, significant associations were revealed between low incidence of MMP-1 1G/1G genotype, high growth rates of leiomyoma, multifocal growth and more common adenomyosis development, thus presuming a protective role of MMP-1/1G homozygosity in the development of symptomatic myoma and adenomyosis and growth-promoting effect of the 2G allele. Hence, the promoter genotype of MMP-1 may be considered as possible genetic marker to predict clinical course of the uterine leiomyoma.
