The second locus is at 19q13, (P = 2.51 x 10−9, OR = 1.42 for the rs2233152 SNP near MIA and RAB4B; P = 1.68 x 10−12, OR = 1.52 for rs28493229 in ITPKC), which confirms previous findings1. The involvement of the FCGR2A locus may have implications for understanding immune activation in Kawasaki disease pathogenesis and the mechanism of response to intravenous immunoglobulin, the only proven therapy for this disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:48 AEDT ]]> Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function-related traits in east Asian populations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21864 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:11 AEDT ]]>
