[Susceptibility genes for Kawasaki disease].

Abstract excerpt

More than 45 years have passed since Kawasaki disease(KD) was firstly described. Although the infectious agent possibly triggering the disease has not been identified, a total of 6 susceptibility genes/loci for KD have been identified through genome-wide studies. Although association of these loci are robust and has been confirmed in multiple populations, these can explain only a part of genetic background of the...
