Genetic and environmental effects on exhaled nitric oxide and airway responsiveness in a population-based sample of twins
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Elevated levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and airway hyperresponsiveness are intermediate phenotypes of asthma. Using population-based data collected from a sample of twins, the present authors estimated the relative contribution of genes, family environment and nonshared environmental influences to variations in eNO and airway responsiveness (AR). In addition, the genetic and environmental sources of...
