Abstract excerpt
The Tajik people in China have resided at high altitude for thousands of years. We analyzed the Pro12Ala (C > G) polymorphism in exon B and the 161C > T polymorphism in exon 6 of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma gene (PPARG) in Chinese Tajik population living at high altitude and Chinese Han population living at low attitude. Significant higher frequencies of the CG and GG genotypes and G allele...
