Association of MMP3 and TIMP2 promoter polymorphisms with nonsyndromic oral clefts
AssociationN=2,288Ariadne Letra et al.(2012)· Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology

Association study of MMP3 and TIMP2 promoter polymorphisms with nonsyndromic oral clefts in Brazilian case-control (494 cases, 413 controls) and US family-based (881 families) cohorts. MMP3 rs522616 showed strong association with all clefts (P=0.00002), cleft lip/palate (P=0.0009), and cleft palate (P=0.006). TIMP2 rs8179096 associated with all clefts (P=0.004), cleft lip/palate (P=0.01), and cleft palate (P=0.02). Significant gene-gene interaction between MMP3-TIMP2 detected (P=0.000001).

About MMP3

Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. This gene encodes an enzyme which degrades fibronectin, laminin, collagens III, IV, IX, and X, and cartilage proteoglycans. The enzyme is thought to be involved in wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3.
