title: Identifying Novel Biomarkers in Sarcoidosis Using Genome-Based Approaches.
abstract: This article briefly reviews conventional biomarkers used clinically to (1) support a diagnosis and (2) monitor disease progression in patients with sarcoidosis. Potential new biomarkers identified by genome-wide screening and the approaches to discover these biomarkers are described.
