Currently, we cannot predict whether a pre‐school child with asthma‐like symptoms will have asthma at school age. Whether genetic information can help in this prediction depends on the role of genetic factors in persistence of pre‐school to school‐age asthma. We examined to what extent genetic and environmental factors contribute to persistence of asthma‐like symptoms at ages 3 to asthma at age 7 using a bivariate genetic model for longitudinal twin data.
