NC-ADPKD and C-ADPKD samples had higher-than-normal (p < 0.01) expression of a number of other inflammasome signaling genes, including: interleukin (IL) 6, IL1β, NFκB1A, CCL2 (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand), BIRC3, TNFAIP3, IL18, PYCARD (also called ASC), and MAPK13. Here, IL18 is linked to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
