Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (rs755622) gene polymorphism in vitiligo
To the best of our knowledge, this is the third study worldwide and the first from Egypt to investigate the association between MIF gene polymorphism (rs755622) with vitiligo susceptibility and severity, and it showed that MIF gene polymorphism (rs755622) may be considered a risk factor for vitiligo susceptibility. Moreover, it may be associated with higher disease extent.
