Abstract
We typed 241 members of 62 sarcoidosis families with 136 affected siblings for three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the interleukin-4 receptor alpha-chain gene (IL4R). Allele frequencies in patients were compared to those of healthy unrelated control individuals. The segregation of the three-point IL4R haplotypes completed by two flanking highly polymorphic microsatellite polymorphisms revealed no evidence for linkage of the IL4R gene locus with sarcoidosis.Entities:
