Report of one case of familial sarcoidosis.
Familial sarcoidosis is a quite unusual occurrence. We describe two affected sisters, in which the clinical features of the disease were fairly similar. Interestingly, the two patients and two unaffected siblings share an HLA haplotype [A10 (26); CW7; B16 (38); DRW6; DQW1] rare in Caucasians.
