aWhites of European descent.

Baseline and run-in characteristics for patients of all races. Genotypes present at a frequency of <1% are grouped together, and patients whose poly-C genotype was undetermined are grouped together. FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC = forced vital capacity; ICS = inhaled corticosteroid; PEF = peak expiratory flow; SD = standard deviation.
