Excerpt

There is evidence that paternal and maternal lung function influence children's pulmonary function. To date, the most widely used pulmonary function test (PFT) to assess airway responsiveness is the PC20 (concentration of methacholine required to decrease FEV1 by 20%). However, other measures of parental lung function may be better predictors of airway responsiveness or asthma development in their children. …
