Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Millions of people live above an altitude of 2,500 m and are at risk of chronic mountain sickness (CMS), a disorder of excessive red cell and hemoglobin production. Preferential ethnic backgrounds, familial character, and heritability studies have suggested that genetic factors make a major contribution to the pathogenesis of CMS, thus our goals were to exploit a probable founder or...
