Cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 reflect Narcolepsy Type 1 immunity, but lack diagnostic biomarker consistency.
Cytokines in narcolepsy type 1: pathogenic relevance, biomarker potential, and future directions.
Abstract
A review of cytokines in Narcolepsy Type 1 (NT1) finds IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ reflect pro-inflammatory responses, while IL-4, IL-10 relate to immunoregulatory balance, but none are consistent biomarkers.
