Likewise, in plasma, the concentrations of a number of immune proteins were significantly increased in SD patients as follows: IL-1β (vs. HC and MD: p < 0.05), IL-6 (vs. HC and MD: p < 0.01), IL-8 (vs. HC: p < 0.01) IL-10 (vs. HC: p < 0.05), IL-17 (vs. HC and MD: p < 0.01), IFNγ (vs. HC: p < 0.05), VEGF (vs. HC: p < 0.001), CCL-2 (vs. HC and MD: p < 0.01), TNFα (vs. HC and MD: p < 0.05), and RANTES (vs. MD: p < 0.05). Here, TNF is linked to Salla disease.
