Major histocompatibility complex class II alleles in Kawasaki syndrome--lack of consistent correlation with disease or cardiac involvement.

The Journal of rheumatology - 1 Nov 1992

Abstract excerpt

Recent refinements in molecular genetic typing have allowed the precise determination of the extensive polymorphism now recognized in class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotypes. This could have important applications in Kawasaki syndrome (KS), where the relative contribution of genetic factors is now well known. Accordingly, 44 Caucasian, 13 Asian, and 5 American black patients, as well as 221...
