Abstract excerpt
The majority of the adaptation processes to hypoxia is based on transcriptional regulation by hypoxia-inducible factors--HIFs. Recently the allele polymorphism of oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-lalpha has been described. It consists in the replacement of cytosine for thymine in 1772 location (C1772-->T). The physiological significance of such replacement is obscure. In the investigation of 26 healthy...
