Effects of allelic variability of the genes coding for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on the etiopathogenesis of the essential hypertension, myocardial ischemia, atopic diseases, and late complications of diabetes II will be studied. Genotyping of individuals will be performed using molecular biological methods, especially PCR, SSCP, RFLP, and/or direct sequencing. Groups of diseased persons will be compared with the appropriate control groups (case-control study).
