Identification of novel locus associated with coronary artery aneurysms and validation of loci for susceptibility to Kawasaki disease

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a paediatric vasculitis associated with coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). Genetic variants influencing susceptibility to KD have been previously identified, but no risk alleles have been validated that influence CAA formation. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWA...
