Heritability and Shared Genetic Effects of Asthma and Hay Fever: An Italian Study of Young Twins

24 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

A number of studies have provided evidence of a significant familial aggregation for both asthma and hay fever, and have reported a substantial comorbidity between the two conditions. However, far fewer, especially in Italy, have aimed at clarifying the origins of such comorbidity. The main aims of the present study were (a) to estimate heritability of asthma and hay fever, (b) to measure the association between...
