Endometrial carcinoma is a metastatic and recurrent disease has a worse prognosis. We aim to investigate the MMP-3 gene polymorphism in Turkish patients with endometrial carcinoma. In recent years, number of genetic studies have been increased to find new prognostic and theraupeutic markers. Matrix metalloproteinases [MMPs] are proteolytic enzymes that degrade all components of the extracellular matrix which are play an important role of cancer metastasis and invasion. MMP-3, also known as stromelysin-1, to lyse basal membrane collagen and induce the synthesis of some other MMPs. 97 patients with endometrial carcinoma and 100 healthy controls were included in this study. MMP-3 E45K polymorphism was determined using polymerase chain reaction/ restriction fragment length polymorphism in study groups. There were no significant differences between any genotypes or allele in control and patient groups for MMP-3 E45K polymorphism. Besides no significant correlation was found between MMP-3 E45K polymorphisms and clinical characteristics, such as histology, grade, metastasis and family history. ur study suggests that the MMP-3 E45K polymorphism is not associated with endometrial carcinoma process in Turkish patients.
