Topics Covered

• 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
