Familial sarcoidosis, a rare condition, was observed across three generations in one family. This case highlights the potential underestimation of familial sarcoidosis prevalence due to latent forms.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Genetics
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Familial sarcoidosis is a rare clinical entity.
  • A 10-year review identified 147 sarcoidosis cases, including three from the same family across three generations.

Observation:

  • The grandmother had pulmonary sarcoidosis.
  • The mother presented with multi-organ involvement: skin, joints, and lungs.
  • The daughter exhibited both cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Findings:

  • Familial sarcoidosis cases show no distinct clinical differences from sporadic forms.
  • Literature review identified 43 families with sarcoidosis.
  • Observed mother-daughter transmission suggests potential genetic factors, though not definitively proven.

Implications:

  • The true incidence of familial sarcoidosis may be underestimated, particularly with latent presentations.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the genetic or environmental factors contributing to familial sarcoidosis.
  • Understanding familial predisposition is crucial for early diagnosis and management.
