To date, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several KD susceptibility genes (e.g., BLK, CD40, FCGR2A, BCL2L11, and IGHV), which are mainly involved in B cell immunity. In this study, we aimed to identify additional KD susceptibility genes mainly involved in B cell development...
