both sarcoidoses per se and disease phenotypes. Newer sequencing technologies are
likely to increase the number of genetic variants associated with sarcoidosis. However,
studying phenotypically and ethnically homogeneous patient subsets remains critically
important regardless of the genetic approach used.

Summary
Sarcoidosis genetic research has led to the identification of a number of associations with both sarcoidoses per se and disease phenotypes. Newer sequencing technologies are likely to increase the number of genetic variants associated with sarcoidosis. However, studying phenotypically and ethnically homogeneous patient subsets remains critically important regardless of the genetic approach used.
