Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The relative contributions of genetics and environment to asthma in Hispanics or to asthma in children younger than 3 years are not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative contributions of genetics and environment to early-childhood asthma by performing a longitudinal twin study of asthma in Puerto Rican children ≤ 3 years old. METHODS: 678 twin infants from the Puerto Rico Neo-Natal Twin...
