In contrast, increased levels of IL-1β (40.580 ± 22.408 ng/L vs. 27.648 ± 21.250 ng/L, P = 0.003), TNF-α (359.08 ± 174.76 ng/L vs. 299.82 ± 129.84 ng/L, P = 0.041), and IL-12 (89.174 ± 34.666 ng/L vs. 74.758 ± 32.383 ng/L, P = 0.028) were found in patients with MMD compared with healthy controls. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is multiminicore myopathy.
