Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease predominantly affecting infants and young children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is applied as the most favorable treatment against KD, but IVIG resistant remains exist. Although several clinical scoring systems have been developed to identify children at highest risk of IVIG resistance, there is a need to identify sufficiently sensitive biomarkers for IVIG treatment. Some differentially expressed genes (DEGs) could be the promising potential biomarkers for IVIG-related sensitivity diagnosis. We employed a systematic and integrative bioinformatics framework to identify such kind of genes. The performance of the candidate genes was evaluated by hierarchical clustering, ROC analysis and literature mining. By analyzing three datasets of KD patients, 34 DEGs of the three groups have been found to be associated with IVIG-related sensitivity. A module of 12 genes could predict resistant group patients with high accuracy, and a module of ten genes could predict responsive group patients effectively with accuracy of 96 %. And three of them are most likely to serve as drug targets or diagnostic biomarkers in the future. Compared with unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis, our modules could distinct IVIG-resistant patients efficiently. Two groups of DEGs could predict IVIG-related sensitivity with high accuracy, which are potential biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis and prediction of IVIG treatment response in KD patients, improving the prognosis of patients.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 May 2016.
All research outputs
#14,198,151
of 22,869,263 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#571
of 1,407 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#160,695
of 301,827 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#6
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,869,263 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,407 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 301,827 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
