This view is consistent with evidence from genetic and blood biomarker studies that implicate IL-6 in the pathogenesis of multiple psychiatric disorders (Graham et al., 2018, Ozaki et al., 2020, Perry et al., 2021, Rasmussen et al., 2021, Rasmussen et al., 2019, Rudolph et al., 2018, Smith et al., 2007). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is psychiatric disorder.
