A genome-wide linkage analysis in 181 German sarcoidosis families using clustered bi-allelic markers.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results propose that the respective regions might harbor r yet unidentified, possibly subphenotype-specific risk factors for the disease, e.g. with immune-related functions like the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1. They should be proved to be important for SA pathogenesis and investigated in detail with an emphasis on rare variants. Subphenotype-specific risk factors might [...]
