Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 1772 (C-->T) and 1790 (G-->A) in exon 12 of hypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunit gene (HIF1A) with hypoxia adaptation in high altitude in Sherpas. METHODS: The blood samples were chosen from 148 Sherpas in Tibet high altitude and 90 Han nationality healthy people in Guangdong province, and from which genomic DNA was...
