A Genome-Wide Scan of Pulmonary Function Measures in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study
18 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Spirometric measures of pulmonary function exhibited high heritability in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study. A genome scan of FEV1, FVC, and the ratio of FEV1/FVC was performed to identify chromosomal regions influencing these measures. The pulmonary traits were adjusted through multiple linear regression techniques for the effects of age, age2, body mass index, height, smoking...
