Whole-exome sequencing identifies rare genetic variations in German families with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide and candidate gene studies for pulmonary sarcoidosis have highlighted several candidate variants among different populations. However, the genetic basis of functional rare variants in sarcoidosis still needs to be explored. To identify functional rare variants in sarcoidosis, we sequenced exomes of 22 sarcoidosis cases from six families. Variants were prioritized using linkage and high-penetrance...
