| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The archetypical yet atypical cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) fulfills pleiotropic immune functions in inflammatory diseases. Evidence emerging from both expression and functional studies implicates MIF in various aspects of cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to determine the covariates of MIF-173G/C polymorphism and its influence on type-2 diabetes risk in a sample representative of middle-aged Turks. METHODS: Randomly selected 2250 Turkish adults (mean age; 49.7±11.9, 48.5% male) were genotyped for -173G/C polymorphism using hybridization probes in Real-Time PCR LC480 device. RESULTS: The MIF-173CC genotype prevailed in 3.7% in men and 2.9% in women. C-allele carriage was associated linearly with wider waist girth, independently of fasting glucose, and was further related to higher apolipoprotein B (apoB) (p<0.05) in men, but not women. Logistic regression analysis showed the C-allele carriage to tend to predict new-onset diabetes (RR 1.51; [95% CI 0.98; 2.32]), additively to age and fasting glucose in men, but not in women. In contrast, risk for established (baseline) diabetes mellitus was lower (OR=0.49, 95% Cl 0.26-0.93, p=0.03) in heterozygotes, after adjustment for atherogenic dyslipidemia and other confounders. CONCLUSION: MIF-173GC polymorphism independently contributes to abdominal obesity and is related to apoB concentrations apparently in men alone. Tendency of the -173C-allele carriage to predict new-onset diabetes independently was also confined to men. These gender-modulated associations suggest novel gene-gender-environmental interactions originating from a proinflammatory state. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
