Associations of content and gene polymorphism of macrophage inhibitory factor-1 and chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Figure 2 Comparison of the macrophage inhibitory factor-1 level among different genotypes at rs1059519 locus. The macrophage inhibitory factor-1 (MIC-1) levels of various genotypes at rs1059519 locus were as follows: For genotype CC, n = 33, M = 265.10, P5 = 117.45, P95 = 1271.05; for genotype CG, n = 99, M = 344.40, P5 = 146.40, P95 = 1373.30; and for genotype GG, n = 128, M = 401.65, P5 = 175.41, P95 = 1170.86. The rank-sum tests of various independent samples showed that statistically significant difference was observed in the MIC-1 level for different genotypes (χ² = 10.183, P = 0.006), and GG genotype was significantly higher than CC genotype (^bP = 0.009).
