Zusammenfassung
Sarcoidosis is a complex inflammatory disease with a heterogeneous clinical picture. Amongst others, an acute and chronic clinical course can be distinguished, for which specific genetic risk factors are known. In order to identify additional risk loci for sarcoidosis and its acute and chronic subforms, we analyzed imputed data from a genome-wide association scan (GWAS) for these phenotypes. After quality control, the GWAS comprised nearly 1.3 million imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms based on an Affymetrix 6.0 Gene Chip dataset of 564 German sarcoidosis cases, including 176 acute and 354 chronic cases and…
