In this context, it is now recognized that OSA causes, albeit not always, systemic elevation in the levels of inflammatory mediators, such as CRP, TNFα, IL-6, and INF-γ [17–23], and the concomitant reduction of anti-inflammatory substances, such as IL-10, thereby tilting the balance toward a heightened proinflammatory state [24]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
