Interleukin-1β and interleukin-1receptor antagonist polymorphisms in Egyptian children with febrile seizures

AbstractFebrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder of childhood. Of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1 is defined as the first endogenous pyrogen.We designed this study to investigate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) situated at positions –31 (C/T), and –511 (C/T) of interl
