\begin{Description}\relax
"This dataset comprises a collection of parent/child trios in the
Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) Ancillary Genetics
Study. The CAMP study is a clinical trial of asthmatic children (mild
to moderate asthma) who were randomized to three different asthma
treatments (CAMP, 1999). The data set includes 699 complete
parent/child trios. Some participants are siblings, and there are 2011
persons from 640 nuclear families in total. Both quantitative and
qualitative traits are available.

"Genotypes:

"The pedigree file, Camp.ped, contains genotype information for eight
candidate genes (m709, m654, m47, p46, p79, p252, p491, p523).  The
last seven markers (all but m709) lie in a haplotype block.  All the
markers are bi-allelic.

"Phenotypes:

"The phenotype file, campz.phe, contains 12 quantitative traits
(zposfevp, zposfvcp, zlogpc20, zampfmea, zpmpfmea, zbdabs, zfevbd,
zbdpred, zsxcmean, ztoteos, zlogige, zncorpos).  All of the phenotypes
have been mean centered and standardized.  The fev (forced expiatory
volume) and fvc (forced vital capacity) variables refer to the amount
of air that can be expelled from the lungs.  The pc20 variable refers
to the amount of irritant required to cause a 20\% drop in fev.  The
toteos variable refers to total eosinophil (a white blood cell) count,
and Ige is a measurement of allergen reactivity."
