In a meta-analysis, aberrations in peripheral cytokine levels were hypothesized to be related to PD, and the authors concluded that higher peripheral concentrations of IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-10, C-reactive protein, and RANTES in patients strengths the clinical evidence that PD is accompanied by an inflammatory response (Qin et al., 2016). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Parkinson disease.
