Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic genes with immune functions, namely those of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, have been implicated in sarcoidosis pathogenesis. As HLA polymorphisms in sarcoidosis have not been yet investigated in the Korean population, we used next-generation sequencing (NGS), allowing detailed characterization of HLA alleles to investigate the role of HLA variation in Korean sarcoidosis patients. We...
