| Conditions: |
|
Sarcoidosis |
| Purpose: |
|
to determine the genetic pathways operating at the tissue level to cause granulomatous
inflammation in the lungs and lymph nodes of patients with sarcoidosis. By so doing, we
hope to identify unique genetic mechanisms which will aid in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis
and will help us understand the pathogenesis of this poorly understood disease.
|
| Study summary: |
|
to collect small sample of lung tissue recovered from a clinical procedure such as
bronchoscopy, or a mediastinoscopy (a procedure in which a lighted instrument
(mediastinoscope) is inserted through a neck incision to visually examine the structures in
the top of the chest cavity and to take a sample (biopsy) of tissue. |
| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- diagnosis of sarcoidosis
Exclusion Criteria:
- inability to provide consent |
