The influence of both genes and environment on lung function smoking behaviour and the presence of respiratory symptoms has previously been demonstrated for each oT these separately. Hence smoking can influence lung function by co-varying not only as an environmental factor but also by shared genetic pathways. Therefore the objective was to evaluate heritability Tor different aspects of lung function and to investigate how the estimates are affected by adjustments Tor smoking and respiratory symptoms. Methods The current study is based on a selected sample of adult twins from the Swedish Twin Registry. Pairs were selected based on background data on smoking and respiratory symptoms collected by telephone interview. Lung function was measured as FEV1 VC and DLco. Pack years were quantified and quantitative genetic analysis was performed on lung function data adjusting stepwise Tor sex pack years and respiratory symptoms. Results Fully adjusted heritability Tor VC was 59 and did not differ by sex with smoking and symptoms explaining only a small part of the total variance. Heritabilities Tor FEV1 and DLco were sex specific. Fully adjusted estimates wereio and 15 in men and 46 and 39 in women respectively. Adjustment Tor smoking and respiratory symptoms altered the estimates differently in men and women. For FEV1 and .
