Background and Objectives: Accumulating epidemiological and molecular evidence suggests that inflammation is all important component in the etiology of PCa. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays an important role in the pro- and anti-inflammatory response to infection. This Study is aimed at investigating the potential association between MIF-173 G>C polymorphism, Gleason score, clinical stage, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value with respect to PCa incidence among the Hall nationality in Southern China. Methods: Genotyping was performed by using tetraprimer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on 259 PCa patients and 301 cancer-free controls. Results: We found that the MIF-173*C variant allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of PCa [adjusted odd ratio (OR) = 2.99, 95% confident interval (CI): 1.94-4.60] and higher Gleason scores from the PCa subjects (adjusted OR = 10.72, 95% CI: 5.35-21.49). In addition, we noted that the MIF -173*C variant allele was related to higher clinical stages and PSA value,, in PCa patients (adjusted OR = 15.68, 95% CI: 7.40-33.23 adjusted OR = 4.37, 95% CI: 2.41-7.92, respectively). Conclusion: Our data suggest that MIF-173 polymorphisms may be associated with a higher incidence of prostate cancer compared to controls, and appears to be associated with higher Gleason scores, higher clinical stages, and PSA values in those with prostate cancer.
