Abstract excerpt
Sarcoidosis is a complex disease with autoimmune basis and still unknown etiology. We have screened for mutations in the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and genotyped single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon alpha-10 (IFNA10), IFNA17, and interferon gamma (IFNG) genes in 89 Greek patients with sarcoidosis and 212 control subjects to detect possible...
