Lung function in an Australian population: contributions of polygenic factors and the Pi locus to individual differences in lung function in a sample of twins.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

A study of lung function in 203 twin pairs aged 18-34 years living in Sydney detected significant genetic variation in females and males. There was no evidence of family environmental effects in either sex and most of the repeatable variation in females was heritable. However, there was evidence...
