Heritability of upper airway dimensions derived using acoustic pharyngometry.

The European respiratory journal - 1 Nov 2008

Patel S R, Frame J M, Larkin E K, Redline S

Abstract excerpt

Acoustic pharyngometry represents a simple, quick noninvasive method of measuring upper airway dimensions, which are predictive of sleep apnoea risk. The aim of the present study was to assess the genetic basis of upper airway size as determined using pharyngometry. Participants in the Cleveland Family Study aged >14 yrs underwent three acoustic pharyngometric measurements. Variance component models adjusted for...
