Background: The proteolytic activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), cell surface enzymes degrading extracellular matrix, is inhibited by matrix metalloproteinase tissue inhibitors (TIMP). We aim to detect the effects of MMP-9 rs3918242 and TIMP-2 rs8179090 gene variations in renal cell cancer transformation.
