A similar positive association has been previously reported between systemic inflammation, i.e., increased serum cytokine IL-1 β, IL-3, INF- γ, and GADA levels in patients with both types of diabetes (Amin et al., 2020) and significantly higher IL-6 and IL-15 concentrations in autoimmune diabetes (Siewko et al., 2019). The gene discussed is IL15; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
