Data are presented as mean±sd for women with LAM of European ancestry, unless otherwise stated (data for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) % pred, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) % pred, VTDB and age at recruitment were all at entry to the study; ΔFEV1 and ΔDLCO are prospective changes from recruitment). Linear regression was used to model the relationship between genotype, clinical factors and VTDB. ns: nonsignificant.
