The overexpression of the following cytokines at initial diagnosis also enhanced the occurrence of DS: IL-1β (2.09 vs 1.81 pg/ml), IL-4 (3.23 vs 2.11 pg/ml), IL-5 (3.08 vs 1.85 pg/ml), IL-10 (6.67 vs 4.35 pg/ml), IL-17A (3.97 vs 2.35 pg/ml), and TNF-β (3.85 vs 2.64 pg/ml) (P< 0.05) (Table 5). The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is Dravet syndrome.
