Abstract:
A statistically significant difference in mean laterality quotients of 15 asthmatic and 106 nonasthmatic children showed a coexistence of left-handedness and asthma early in life. It is suggested that this phenomenon is not only a fetal event as the Geschwind-Galaburda hypothesis claims but it is mainly based on maternal line inheritance.
