Overall, IL-17 was rarely detected (Fig. 6b), however, TNF was produced by CD4+ T cells (48.7% in ME-MM, 53.8% in ME-SA, p = 0.061), CD8+ T cells (30.0% in ME-MM, 35.5% in ME-SA, p = 0.104) and MAITs (66.4% in ME-MM, 79.0% in ME-SA, p < 0.0001) with higher frequencies in ME-SA (Fig. 6c). Here, IL17A is linked to Miyoshi myopathy.
