Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between a polymorphism in the MMP-8 gene and the risk of Rotator Cuff Tears (RCT), focusing on how a specific allele may lead to higher collagen degradation.
- DNA samples from 128 patients (64 with RCT and 64 as controls) were analyzed using PCR, revealing that the T/T genotype was more common in those with RCT.
- Findings suggest that the MMP-8 g.-799 C>T SNP is a potential risk factor for RCT, highlighting the need for further research to explore prevention and treatment options.
