Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) alleles in the Quechua, a high altitude South American native population.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Rupert J L, Devine D V, Monsalve M V, Hochachka P W

Abstract excerpt

Recently it was reported that an allelic variant of the gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was significantly over-represented in a cohort of elite British mountaineers. It was proposed that this may be evidence for a specific genetic factor influencing the human capacity for physical performance. The implication that this allele could enhance performance at high altitude prompted us to determine...
