We report the results of segregation analyses for wheeze before and after a history of respiratory allergy was taken into consideration. The analyses were based on data from 309 nuclear families with 1,053 individuals living in the town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan in 1993, and were performed by using

The Humboldt Family Study was conducted in the town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, in 1993. Familial correlations and segregation analyses of lung function were carried out in 799 individuals in 214 nuclear families that included 214 fathers, 214 mothers, and 371 children. Forced expiratory volume in 1
We examined familial resemblance and performed segregation analysis for the maximal expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity (Vmax50) and the ratio of Vmax50 to forced vital capacity (FVC), based on data from 309 nuclear families with 1,045 individuals in the town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, in
