Genetic investigations of sarcoidosis sub-phenotypes: Lofgren syndrome (LS) and Non-Lofgren syndrome (non-LS) – revealed that these sub-phenotypes have their own genetic architecture with a common genomic overlap located on the extended major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region.
Lofgren syndrome (LS), non-Lofgren syndrome (non-LS), and healthy controls (HC)
