Multiple lines of evidence suggest that susceptibility to Kawasaki disease (KD) is influenced by host genetics. Subclinical coronary artery vasculitis may be present in monozygotic twins who are discordant for clinical signs of KD. Health care providers should consider laboratory testing and echocardiography in both monozygotic twins when only one twin presents with clinical KD.
多项证据表明，川崎病（KD）的易感性受宿主遗传因素的影响。虽然双胞胎的临床症状不一致，但同卵双胞胎可能存在无症状性冠状动脉血管炎。当只有一个双胞胎出现临床 KD 时，医疗保健提供者应考虑对两个双胞胎都进行实验室检查和超声心动图检查。
