Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Blau syndrome is a subtype of sarcoidosis, which is characterized by early manifestations of granulomatous arthritis, uveitis and skin rashes. The symptoms usually begin early, with patients as young as one month old being described. There is redness and a rash on the face, which quickly spreads to the trunk. These symptoms occur episodically and disappear without treatment. Around the age of 10, the typical arthritis symptoms on the feet and wrists begin. The cause is a pathogenic variant in the NOD2 gene.

However, a negative molecular genetic result does not rule out a disease in the diagnostic spectrum of sarcoidosis.
