Variance decomposition of asthma obtained from recent population-based twin studies.
Note: Proportion of variance (%) in asthma susceptibility due to additive genetic effects (A), shared environmental effects (C), non-additive genetic effects (D), and non-shared environmental effects (E). Variance components sum to 100%. Unadjusted variance components were recalculated from the raw data for Nieminen et al., 1991, using the statistical software Mx [Neale et al., 2006].
