Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study whether genetic variants of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), the MIF -173G>C and CATT(5-8) alleles, are associated with disease severity and levels of circulating MIF in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Genotyping was performed in patients with early RA and in healthy controls. Demographic data, disease activity, and outcome measurements were compared between...
