Association between the −794 (CATT)5–8 MIF Gene Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Acute Coronary Syndrome in a Western Mexican Population
The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is related to the progression of atherosclerosis, which, in turn, is a key factor in the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MIF has a CATT short tandem repeat (STR) at position −794 that might be involved in its expression rate. The aim of...
