Aims: Genetic variations mediating matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression may result in individual differences in susceptibility to particular diseases. Our aim was to investigate the possible association of certain MMP-2 gene variants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Tunisian population.Subjects and Methods: A case-control study involving 310 normoglycemic control subjects and 791 T2D patients was performed. A total of four MMP-2 SNPs (-...

Introduction: Generously supported by IPSEN)-->Prolactinoma is the commonest pituitary adenoma. The aim of this study was to compare clinical, biological and radiological characteristics in microprolactinoma and macroprolactinoma.Patients: This retrospective study included 33 patients with prolactinoma. The tumor was a microadenoma (<1 cm) in 27.3% (n=9) and a macroadenoma in 72.7% (n=24) ...
