Elucidating the Genetic Contribution to Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Risk Through Matrix Metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11) Genotypic Analysis
While <i>MMP-11</i> polymorphisms alone do not independently influence NPC susceptibility, their interaction with environmental risk factors may modulate NPC risk. These findings suggest potential roles for <i>MMP-11</i> genotypes in NPC pathogenesis <i>via</i> gene-environment interplay and merit further investigation in diverse populations.
