Exploring the Genetic Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-13 Variants in Pterygium Risk
These findings suggest that <i>MMP13</i> genetic variants rs2252070 and rs478927 do not significantly contribute to pterygium susceptibility. Given the known involvement of other MMPs, future studies should focus on alternative genetic markers to better understand pterygium pathogenesis and improve early detection strategies.
