Abstract excerpt
Spirometric measures of pulmonary function have been shown to be highly heritable and evidence for major genes influencing forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) have been reported. A genome scan of pulmonary traits in the Framingham Heart Study identified a region on chromosome 6qter with evidence for linkage to FEV1 and the FEV1/FVC ratio. For this study, additional markers were...
