Abstract excerpt

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile disorder characterized by systemic vasculitis primarily occurring in coronary arteries. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been considered to play pathophysiologic roles in the development of coronary artery lesions (CALs); therefore, an evaluation of the genetic contributions of the MMP genes to the development of CALs in KD patients would be beneficial for the...
