They found higher CD8+pSTAT1+, CD8+T-bet+ T cells and CD14+pSTAT1+, CD14+T-bet+ cells percentages and IL-12p40, interferon (IFN)-γ and TNF-α levels in FSHD patients with hyperintensity features in one or more muscles compared to patients without muscles STIR hyperintensity and controls [117]. This evidence concerns the gene CD14 and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
