Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) are the main cytokines that are thought to be involved in the evolvement of cachexia, in general (Fong et al., 1989; Strassmann et al., 1993; Kayacan et al., 2006; White, 2017). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is Cachexia.
