HYPERLINK "sps:id::fig1||locator::gr1||MediaObject::0" Gene expression of cytokines in WBC of SFN patients compared to controls. The scatter plots show the gene expression of pro- (IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF) (a) and anti- (IL-4, IL-10, and TGF) inflammatory cytokines. Gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-8, and TNF was higher in WBC in patients compared to controls. Anti-inflammatory cytokine expression did not differ between groups (b). Number of samples investigated: SFN patients = 52; controls = 21. IL− interleukin, SFN small fiber neuropathy, TGF transforming growth factor beta-1, TNF tumor necrosis factor-alpha. *p < 0.05
