In addition, the levels of IL-1β (Z = 3.067, Bonferroni corrected P = 0.006), IL-6 (Z = 3.902, Bonferroni corrected P < 0.001), IL8 (Z = 3.595, Bonferroni corrected P = 0.001), IFN-γ (Z = 3.052, Bonferroni corrected P = 0.007), proinflammatory cytokines (Z = 3.477, Bonferroni corrected P = 0.002) in DS patients were higher than that those in HCs. Here, IL1B is linked to Dravet syndrome.
