Two new susceptibility loci for Kawasaki disease identified through genome-wide association analysis.
Dr. Chen, Yuan-Tsong
Nat Genet., May 25, 2012To find new candidate loci predisposing individuals to Kawasaki disease, an acute vasculitis that affects children, we conducted a genome-wide association study in 622 individuals with Kawasaki disease (cases) and 1,107 controls in a Han Chinese population residing in Taiwan, with replication in an independent Han Chinese sample of 261 cases and 550 controls.
