ABSTRACT
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis,and the cause of KD is not well understood.Based on epidemiologic studies and surveys,several features of KD strongly suggest a genetic component to disease pathogenesis.As a result of their involvement in immune response,human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genes have been extensively studied in association with outcomes of autoimmune and infectious diseases.HLA gene polymorphisms have also been reported to be associated with KD.Now,HLA gene polymorphisms related to KD is focused.
