The use of Allelic Expression Differences to Ascertain Functional Polymorphisms Acting in cis: Analysis of MMP1 Transcripts in Normal Lung Tissue

Summary Aberrant expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) has been implicated in a number of pathological conditions of the lung. In vitro results and analysis of tumours and cell lines suggest that an insertion/deletion polymorphism at position ‐1607 in the promoter of the gene can influence...
