Concurrent uveitis in monozygotic twins in the context of systemic sarcoidosis
This is the first-reported case of concurrent bilateral uveitis in monozygotic twins, with confirmed sarcoidosis in one. This presentation highlights the role of genetic predisposition and shared environmental factors in disease onset and clinical manifestations. Further research into the genetic-environmental interplay is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying simultaneous disease onset and guide personalized monitoring strategies for at-risk families.
