Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Genetic variation plays a significant role in the etiology of sarcoidosis. However, only a small fraction of its heritability has been explained so far. OBJECTIVES: To define further genetic risk loci for sarcoidosis, we used the Immunochip for a candidate gene association study of immune-associated loci. METHODS: Altogether the study population comprised over 19,000 individuals. In a two-stage design,...
