Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) gene polymorphisms are associated with disease susceptibility and with circulating MIF levels in active non‐segmental vitiligo in patients from western Mexico

Abstract Background The macrophage migration inhibiting factor (MIF) is a protein that promotes the activation of immune cells and the production of other proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IFN‐γ, which have proposed to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The stu...
