Kawasaki Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this project is to explore the differential gene expression profile of Kawasaki disease, and will explore the diagnosis and treatment targets related to coronary artery injury or kawasaki disease susceptibility, vascular damage, IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) treatment resistance, incomplete Kawasaki disease, etc.
Detailed description
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will acquire blood samples with complete clinical data and prognostic information. Using clinicopathology, molecular biology, gene diagnostics and other techniques to verify the expression differences of target genes and proteins and analyze their expression levels; To analyze the role of target genes and proteins in the occurrence and development of Kawasaki disease and their correlation with the risk of coronary artery injury. In vitro and in vivo KD (Kawasaki Disease) model was used to investigate the role of target genes in Kawasaki disease by gene interference and various molecular biological techniques.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTEchocardiography, Genomics NGS sequencing
The inner diameter of left main coronary artery, anterior descending branch, circumflex branch and right coronary artery was measured by echocardiography. Blood samples were send for genomics NGS sequencing
