Abstract excerpt

We have demonstrated that serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was significantly elevated in patients with extensive alopecia areata (AA). Recently, functional polymorphisms have been identified in the MIF promoter region. To address the functional and prognostic relevance of the -173G/C and -794[CATT]5-8 repeat polymorphisms in MIF genes in patients with extensive AA, 113 patients with extensive AA...
