Cluster analysis for clinical sarcoidosis’ phenotyping

      Highlights

      • Phenotyping sarcoidosis patients is important for clarifying prognosis and therapeutic approaches.
      • Biological markers, genotypes and clinical features will play a key role in the assessment of sarcoidosis.
      • Clustering sarcoidosis patients on the basis of biological indicators could identify specific phenotypes that are more indicative of prognosis, severity and treatment response.
