Genetics of MIS-C and Kawasaki disease in children
This study looks at the genes of children who have had MIS-C or Kawasaki disease, which are conditions that can happen after an infection. By understanding the genetics, doctors hope to learn why some children get these conditions and how to better treat or prevent them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or teenager.
- You have been diagnosed with MIS-C or Kawasaki disease.
- Your family is willing to provide a blood or saliva sample for genetic testing.

This study looks at certain genes (called HERVs) in children with new inflammatory conditions like Kawasaki disease, COVID-19, or other infections. It aims to learn more about how these genes might be involved in the body's response to illness.
This study looks at how your genes may be affected after a COVID-19 infection. It compares people with long COVID, people who recovered, and people who never had COVID to find markers that might explain long-term symptoms.
This study looks at the heart health of children and teens who had MIS-C (a rare inflammatory condition linked to COVID-19) about 5 years later. It will compare their results to those of healthy children, to see if there are any lasting effects on the heart.
This study looks at how children feel and live their daily lives after recovering from MIS-C (a severe inflammatory condition linked to COVID-19). It compares them to healthy children of the same age and gender to see if there are any lasting effects.
This study looks at Kawasaki disease that gets complicated by a serious immune reaction called macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). It aims to better understand and treat this complication in children.
This study looks at children with Kawasaki disease, a condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels. The goal is to learn more about how it affects kids in Europe and North India.
