This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between the presence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) polymorphisms, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*03 linkage and the prognosis of sarcoidosis. In a retrospective case[ndash]control study, TNF-[alpha]G-308A, TNF-[alpha]G-238A, lymphotoxin-[alpha] (LTA) and HLA-DRB1*03 were genotyped in 625 sarcoidosis patients. These patients were classified into 298 patients with persistent disease and [...]
