Overview

Few data and small numbers affect the inflammatory profile of Dunnigan patients. The levels of certain pro-inflammatory biomarkers would be found higher in these subjects compared to control individuals. However, in these studies, several confounding factors were not taken into account such as smoking, an underlying chronic inflammatory disease such as diabetes and could limit the interpretation of the results. There is no other observation of the anti-inflammatory status of these patients.
