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 study aimed to assess the association between MIF polymorphisms (−794 CATT5‐8 and −173 G>C), MIF in situ expression, and MIF serum concentrations with susceptibility and disease activity in patients with non‐segmental vitiligo (NSV) from western Mexico.
