The etiology and mechanisms of sarcoidosis are not fully understood. Recent high-throughput biological research has generated vast amounts of multi-omics big data on sarcoidosis, but their significance remains to be determined. We sought to identify novel candidate regions, and genes consistently altered in heterogeneous omics studies so as to reveal the underlying molecular mechanisms. We conducted a comprehensive integrative literature analysis on global data on sarcoidosis, including genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and phenomic studies. We performed positional integration analysis of 38 eligible datasets originating from 17 different biological layers. Using the integration interval length of 50\u2009kb, we identified 54 regions reaching significance value\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2264\u20090.0001 and 15 regions with significance value\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2264\u20090.00001, when applying more stringent criteria. Secondary literature analysis of the top 20 regions, with the most significant accumulation of signals, revealed several novel candidate genes for which associations with sarcoidosis have not yet been established, but have considerable support for their involvement based on omic data. These new plausible candidate genes include\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">NELFE<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CFB<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">EGFL7<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">AGPAT2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">FKBPL<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">NRC3<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">NEU1<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
