CATT polymorphism in MIF gene promoter is closely related to human pulmonary tuberculosis in a southwestern China population.

International journal of immunopathology and pharmacology - 1 Jan 2000

Liu Aihua, Bao Fukai, Voravuthikunchai Supayang P

Abstract excerpt

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is deemed as an immunoregulatory and proinflammatory cytokine related to the progression of tuberculosis. A CATT short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism at position -794 in the MIF gene promoter region is associated with the susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). To investigate whether macrophage MIF gene mif CATT variants are associated with susceptibility to retreatment...
