The Heritability of Upper Airway Dimensions Using MRI Scans in Twins

The Heritability of Upper Airway Dimensions Using MRI Scans in Twins

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by the repetitive collapse of the upper airways during sleep, most likely in the oropharyngeal region. Anatomical factors significantly contribute to the disease development; however, the heritability of the upper airway...
