Elevated serum angiotensin converting enzyme correlates with specific HLA-DRB1 alleles and extrapulmonary manifestations in sarcoidosis
In this retrospective study, HLA alleles associated with s-ACE levels in sarcoidosis patients, which in turn correlated with occurrence of EPM. These findings shed some new light on possible mechanisms behind differences in s-ACE levels.
