Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis childhood disease frequently complicating coronary artery lesions (CALs). Recently, the gene encoding a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) was found to modify vascular pathology in humans by differentially regulating the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, which affects KD/CAL susceptibility. To explore the potential role of...
