Data on parental allergic diseases were obtained from questionnaires answered at the children's birth and on symptoms of wheezing at 1, 2 and 4 years of age. Sensitization to inhalant allergens and lung function was investigated at the age of 4 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> Children were classified as having recurrent, transient (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=266), early\u2010onset persistent (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=319) and late\u2010onset wheezing (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=195). Boys were over\u2010represented in all groups of wheezing (odds ratio, OR=1.4\u20131.5) and both maternal and paternal allergic disease was of importance for the wheezing outcomes. A dominating influence from maternal allergic disease was only seen in children with persistent wheezing. An interaction exceeding additivity was found between male sex and parental allergic disease, particularly in children with persistent wheezing (OR=2.9 and 95% confidence interval, CI 95% 2.1\u20134.0 for boys with any parental history vs. OR=1.4, CI 95% 1.0\u20132.1 for girls). Interaction between male sex and parental allergic disease was also observed in children who wheezed at the age of 4 years and were sensitized to inhalant allergens.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> Our data suggest an interaction between male sex and parental allergic disease in childhood wheezing, which may represent a
