Background: Sarcoidosis is a multifactorial immune disorder with an uncertain origin. A single nucleotide polymorphism (G→A, rs2076530) in the butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) gene results in the formation of truncating protein. This study aimed to genotype the predisposition of the BTNL2 rs2076530 polymorphism in Iranian patients with sarcoidosis using the RFLP technique.

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation with a genetic predisposition. Butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that plays an important role in regulating T cell activation and immune homeostasis. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of the genetic variants of BTNL2 with childhood asthma and asthma-related traits by utilizing extreme asthma phenotypes and employing a genome-wide association study.
