Replication study for reported SNP associations with breast cancer survival
AssociationN=6,307Alicia Beeghly-Fadiel et al.(2012)· Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

Two-stage replication study of 9 SNPs in 8 genes previously associated with breast cancer survival in 6,307 Chinese women (Stage 1: 1,115 cases, Stage 2: 5,192 cases). MMP7 rs11225297 and MMP8 rs11225395 showed consistent associations with overall survival, with rare alleles conferring 20-40% improved survival (HR 0.4-0.6 and 0.6 for TT genotypes respectively, p<0.001).

About MMP12

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this 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. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease degrades soluble and insoluble elastin. This gene may play a role in aneurysm formation and mutations in this gene are associated with lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
