Genetic determinants of upper airway structures that predispose to obstructive sleep apnea.

Respiratory physiology & neurobiology - 28 Jul 2005

Schwab Richard J

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors are thought to play an important role in human development. Recent data indicate that obstructive sleep apnea may have a genetic basis. Sleep apnea is a very common disorder with significant cardiovascular and neurophysiologic morbidity. The pathogenesis of sleep apnea is related to a reduction in the size of the upper airway. The reduction in airway size is secondary to increased adipose tissue...
