ACE and HLA Genotypes Predict Severity and Disease Progression in Danish Sarcoid Patients

ACE and HLA Genotypes Predict Severity and Disease Progression in Danish Sarcoid Patients

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause histologically characterized by noncaseating granulomas. Genetic factors affect disease course, which is highly variable and difficult to predict.

This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of ACE and HLA genotypes on disease severity and progression in Danish patients with sarcoidosis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of sarcoidosis
• Signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Inability or unwillingness to adhere to the study
• Inability to give informed consent
