Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of allergic disease in twins

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that methacholine sensitivity, total serum IgE levels, and total skin test scores to be heritable traits and suggests a genetic contribution to their expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The presence of airway reactivity before the development of asthma.

TL;DR: The results show that enhanced airway reactivity usually precedes the development of asthma, which could support a genetic basis for it.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of age on methacholine response

TL;DR: It is found that age has a significant effect on the methacholine response, and young and older subjects may exhibit bronchial responses that may falsely suggest hyperreactive airway disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specificity and sensitivity of methacholine inhalation challenge in normal and asthmatic children.

TL;DR: The provocative dose of inhaled methacholine required to cause a 20% drop in the forced expiratory volume in 1 sec was evaluated in two selected pediatric populations of normal nonatopic individuals and current asthmatic subjects.
