MIF and Alzheimer disease: In addition, the MIF C/5-CATT and the MIF C/7-CATT haplotypes were significantly associated with AD; the OR for the MIF C/5-CATT haplotype of the MIF −173 G/C and −794 CATT repeat polymorphisms was 9.7 (compared to the MIF G/5-CATT haplotype, 95% CI, 1.78–52.8, p = 0.009), and the OR for the MIF C/7-CATT haplotype of the MIF −173 G/C and −794 CATT repeat polymorphisms was 4.5 (compared to the G/5-CATT haplotype, 95% CI, 1.57–12.90, p = 0.005) (Table 3).
