Spirometric traits show quantile-dependent heritability, which may contribute to their gene-environment interactions with smoking and pollution

BACKGROUND: “Quantile-dependent expressivity” refers to a genetic effect that is dependent upon whether the phenotype (e.g., spirometric data) is high or low relative to its population distribution. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)), and the FEV(1)/FVC ratio...
