Familial aggregation and segregation analysis of eosinophil levels.

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine - 1 Nov 1999

Holberg C J, Halonen M, Wright A L, Martinez F D

Abstract excerpt

The number of circulating eosinophils is associated with the risk of asthma in population samples. Therefore, eosinophil levels may be an intermediate phenotype for asthma amenable to genetic analysis. We examined familial aggregation of the number of eosinophils x 10(6) L(-1) and the percentage of eosinophils based on a 300 count differential in 644 Hispanic and non-Hispanic white families, with 2, 097 subjects,...
