Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin with a variable and often unpredictable course and pattern of organ involvement. In this study we sought to identify specific bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell gene expression patterns indicative of distinct disease phenotypic traits. RNA sequencing by Ion Torrent Proton was performed on BAL cells obtained from 215 well characterized patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis enrolled in the multicenter Genomic Research in Alpha-1 An...
