Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Objectives: Combining of genomic data of different pathologies as a single phenotype has emerged as a useful strategy to identify genetic risk loci shared among immune-mediated diseases. Our study aimed to increase our knowledge of the genetic contribution to Kawasaki disease (KD) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV) by performing the first comprehensive large-scale analysis on the genetic overlap between them.
402 European ancestry Kawasaki disease cases, 215 European ancestry IgAV cases, 7,538 European ancestry controls
