Among all of the cytokines, the cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant -1 (CINC-1) had the strongest expression whereas the largest difference in expression between the ALPPS and PVL group was in interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression with more than 6-fold higher expression in the ALPPS group than in the PVL group at 24 h. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is periventricular leukomalacia.
