Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 35767891 |
| Year | 2022 |
| Title | Concomitant Expression of IL-6 and TGF-β Cytokines and their Receptors in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: The Effects of INFβ Drugs |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | The IL-6 mRNA expression in patients with RRMS was significantly higher than in the controls (p= 0.019). When patients who did not receive any other treatment were compared with the controls, the significant difference was substantial (p=0.006). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
