[Susceptibility genes for Kawasaki disease].
Nihon Rinsho. Japanese Journal of Clinical Medicine 2014 September
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 disease. Further investigation of genetic factors including unidentified common and rare variants as well as personal mutations contributing to individuals' susceptibility to the disease and risk for severer manifestation should be warranted and multicenter collaboration of collecting patients' subjects and information is essential for current and future genetic study of KD.
