The goal of this study was to identify other neuroinflammatory cytokines in serum whose expression levels were altered in OSA patients and but normal with CPAP treatment, focusing on TNF receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, and the IL6 receptor IL6R and its co-receptor gp130. The gene discussed is TNFRSF1B; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
