Higher IL-2 (HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.10–2.84, p = 0.02) and ferritin (HR 1.38, 95% CI 0.95–1.99, p = 0.09) levels were associated with a shorter survival, while high levels of IL-1β (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.32–0.85, p = 0.009) and the presence of diabetes (HR 0.09, 95% CI 0.02–0.49, p = 0.005) were associated with a longer survival. The gene discussed is IL2; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
