With regard to serum biomarkers, we included an array of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, and interferon [IFN]-γ), which were previously found to be altered in (a subset of) SZ and/or BD patients [22–26]. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is Behcet disease.
