چکیده

A decrease in the reaction to intracutaneous injection of tuberculin or its purified protein derivative is generally accepted as a feature of the disease syndrome sarcoidosis. The phenomenon has aroused considerable interest, and many discussions of the various possible underlying mechanisms have appeared in the literature.""0'11 A few detailed investigations have been conducted, but there is no information on the delayed reactions of individuals with this disease to commonly encountered antigens other than tuberculin. Reported here are the results of a study of this problem.

Polymorphism of rs2076530 allele in BTNL2 gene in patients with skin sarcoidosis compared to skin sarcoidal reaction and normal skin: A case-control study

Background: In 10-30% of the cases with sarcoidosis, skin lesions appear solely without any systemic signs or symptoms. BTNL2 gene, which is a member of the immunoglobulin gene super family and is associated with CD86 and CD80 co-stimulatory receptors, is identified to play an important role in the establishment of sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of this gene in patients with skin sa...
