Associations between circulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and rheumatoid arthritis, and between MIF gene polymorphisms and disease susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To systematically review evidence regarding the relationship between circulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the association between MIF gene polymorphisms and RA susceptibility. DESIGN: We performed a meta-analysis on data of serum/plasma MIF levels in patients with RA and in controls, and on associations between the MIF-173 C/G and -794CATT5-8...
