Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), a proteolytic enzyme able to degrade types I and III collagens, is present in atherosclerotic lesions but absent from the normal blood vessel wall. The recent observation that, in a transgenic mouse model, MMP-1 gene expression slows the development and progression of atherosclerotic plaques suggests that it may play a role in human atherogenesis. We investigated whether coronary heart disease was associated with a functional polymorphism in the human MMP-1 gene. In addition, we examined a polymorphism in the human MMP-3 gene that was previously reported to be associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
