Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (o-JIA): association of MIF promoter polymorphisms with response to intra-articular glucocorticoids.
Association of macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene -173 G/C polymorphism with prognosis in Turkish children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
A tetranucleotide repeat CATT((5-7)) beginning at nucleotide position -794 and 3 SNPs at positions -173 (G to C), +254 (T to C), and +656 (C to G) of the MIF gene were identified.No JIA-specific mutations were found.

To determine if polymorphisms of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene are associated with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
