Table of Contents:
  • Contents: Role of genetics x exposure in environmental lung disease
  • Granulomatous disorders and immunologic mechanistic basis: berylliosis and sarcoidosis
  • Immunogenetics that may apply generally to granulomatous disorders
  • Berylliosis: genetic epidemiology studies, functional genomics and gene x environment interaction studies
  • Role of exposure vs. genetic basis
  • Sarcoidosis: genetic epidemiology studies, attempts at functional genomics and directions for research to use clinical phenotype and genotype information to improve and help direct the search for an unknown causative agent
  • Possible implications for other (non-granulomatous) environmental lung disorders.
