Association Analysis of Interleukin-1 β, Interleukin-6, and HMGB1 Variants with Postictal Serum Cytokine Levels in Children with Febrile Seizure and Generalized Epilepsy with Febrile Seizure Plus.

CONCLUSIONS: Genetic variants located in IL-1β-31 and IL-1β-511 promotor regions are correlated with higher postictal IL-1β levels in FS. These results suggest that IL-1 gene cluster variants in IL-1β-31 and IL-1β-511 are a host genetic factor for provoking FS in Korean children. PMID: 31591845 [PubMed]
