Abstract excerpt

The aim of the study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) determine susceptibility to or severity of inflammatory polyarthritis (IP). Genotypes for a single-nucleotide polymorphism (MIF-173*G/C) and a tetranucleotide (CATT)(n) repeat mapping to the promoter region of the MIF gene were compared between UK Caucasian IP cases (n=438) and controls (n=343). Both...
