Pearson's analysis demonstrated in the epilepsy group which presented generalized seizures (VV genotype), an interesting correlation between inflammatory and apoptotic parameters: IL-1β vs. caspase-1 (r = 0.7, p < 0.05) and IL-6 vs. caspase-3 (r = 0.6, p < 0.05). The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is Generalized-onset seizure.
