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 |

Two subjects with Scadding stage 0 had prior lung involvement, the other subjects either had neurologic or skin involvement
Abbreviations: DLCO = Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide, FEV1 = Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second, FEV1/FVC = Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second to Forced Vital Capacity ratio, FVC = Forced Vital Capacity, TLC = Total Lung Capacity
