Pulmonary Function Tests
N Mean (SD) Range

  FVC %predicted 100 96 (15) 59 - 140

  FEV1 %predicted 100 90 (18) 28 - 140

  FEV1/FVC 100   0.75 (0.088) 0.34-0.95

  DLCO %predicted 73 71 (14) 39 - 108

  TLC %predicted 68 96 (15) 59 - 131

Two subjects with Scadding stage 0 had prior lung involvement, the other subjects either had neurologic or skin involvement
