Circulating MMP-12 as Potential Biomarker in Evaluating Disease Severity and Efficacy of Sublingual Immunotherapy in Allergic Rhinitis
Figure 2
Associations between serum MMP-12 and MRGPRX2 levels and disease severity. Serum MMP-12 levels were positively correlated with VAS (a) and TNSS (b) scores, and MRGPRX2 levels were associated with VAS(c), but not with TNSS (d). MMP-12: matrix metalloproteinase-12; MRGPRX2: mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-X2; VAS: visual analogue scales; TNSS: total nasal symptoms score.
