Background: An autoimmune component in the cause of sarcoidosis has long been debated, but population-based data on the clustering of immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) and sarcoidosis in individuals and families suggestive of shared cause are limited.
Research Question: Do patients with a history of IMDs have a higher risk of sarcoidosis and do IMDs cluster in families with sarcoidosis?
Study Design And Methods: We conducted a case-control-family study (2001-2020). Patients with sarcoidosis (N = 14,146) were identified in the Swedish National Patient Register using a previously validated definition (≥ 2 International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-coded inpatient or outpatient visits).

Background: Sarcoidosis has been considered to be associated with many autoimmune diseases (ADs), but the cause-and-effect relationship between these two diseases has not been fully explored. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the possible genetic association between sarcoidosis and ADs.
Methods: We conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study using genetic variants associated with ADs and sarcoidosis (4,041 cases and 371,255 controls) from the FinnGen study.

Observational research shows a link between celiac disease (CeD) and sarcoidosis, but the causal link between CeD and sarcoidosis is still unknown. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to ascertain the causal connection between the 2 disorders. In our two-sample MR analysis, we identified independent genetic variants associated with CeD using publicly accessible GWAS data from people of European ancestry.
