Decreased DNA methyltransferases expression is associated with coronary artery lesion formation in Kawasaki disease

Abstract excerpt

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common acute coronary vasculitis to occur in children. Although we have uncovered global DNA hypomethylation in KD, its underlying cause remains uncertain. In this study, we performed a survey of transcript levels of DNA methyltransferases and demethylases in KD patients.
