Purpose: To assess the impact of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1-1607 1G/2G (rs1799750), MMP7-181 A/G (rs11568818) single-nucleotide polymorphism and systemic cytokins interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6 levels on the development of exudative age-related macular degeneration (eAMD) Methodology: The study group comprised 282 patients with eAMD, and the control group enrolled 379 randomly selected persons. The genotyping of MMP1-1607 (rs1799750) and MMP7-181 (rs11568818) was performed by using the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism method. To determine IL-1 beta and IL-6 serum levels, the immunoenzymatic method with monoclonal antibodies coated plates was performed. Results: MMP1 rs1799750 1G/2G genotype was more frequently found in the development of eAMD. It was associated with a 4.3-fold increased risk for eAMD under the codominant model and a 4.9-fold increased risk for eAMD under the overdominant model. The effect was more pronounced at the age of less than 65 years. IL-1 beta concentration was significantly higher for MMP1 rs1799750 1G/1G genotype and MMP7 rs11568818 A/G genotype in eAMD patients compared with control group subjects. Conclusions: MMP1 rs1799750 1G/2G genotype was found to play a significant role in the development of eAMD at the age of less than 65 years. IL-1 beta concentration was significantly higher in eAMD patients for MMP1 rs1799750 1G/1G genotype and MMP7 rs11568818 A/G genotype compared with control group subjects.
