TL;DR: A functional SNP (itpkc_3) in the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase C (ITPKC) gene on chromosome 19q13.2 that is significantly associated with Kawasaki disease susceptibility and also with an increased risk of coronary artery lesions is identified.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of Kawasaki disease in Japanese subjects using data from 428 individuals with Kawasaki Disease and 3,379 controls genotyped at 473,803 SNPs provides new insights into the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Kaw Osaka disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
IgA Plasma Cell Infiltration of Proximal Respiratory Tract, Pancreas, Kidney, and Coronary Artery in Acute Kawasaki Disease
Anne H. Rowley,Stanford T. Shulman,Carrie A. Mask,Laura S. Finn,Masaru Terai,Susan C. Baker,Carlos A. Galliani,Kei Takahashi,Shiro Naoe,Mitra B. Kalelkar,Susan E. Crawford +10 more
TL;DR: These findings strongly support entry of the KD etiologic agent through the upper respiratory tract, resulting in an IgA immune response, with systemic spread to vascular tissue, pancreas, and kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infective endocarditis in congenital heart disease: Japanese national collaboration study
TL;DR: Because of a recent increase in the incidence of IE and high mortality and complication rate, it is mandatory to establish well formulated recommendations for management of IE in paediatric and adult patients with CHD based on a large cohort of patients in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
