Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a complex disease characterized by symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough. OBJECTIVE: To study the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors in the liability to asthma in a large sample of twins. METHODS: Data on asthma in 21,135 twin pairs, 3-71 years of age, from the Danish Twin Registry were collected via a multidisciplinary questionnaire...
