Etiological relationships in atopy: a review of twin studies.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Apr 2008

Thomsen Simon Francis, Kyvik Kirsten Ohm, Backer Vibeke

Abstract excerpt

The genetics of asthma and atopy has been studied frequently in twin populations from various parts of the world. However, emphasis has been put on univariate analysis of questionnaire data, whereas clinical and intermediate traits only sporadically have been studied, especially in multivariate settings. This review focuses on multivariate twin studies of atopy and related traits. We conclude that the genetic...
