Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Tibetan people in China have lived at high altitude for thousands of years, raising the possibility that the Tibetans are genetically adapted to high altitude. In this study we analyzed the Pro12Ala (C>G) polymorphism in exon 2 and the 161C>T polymorphism in exon 6 of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene (PPARγ) in a Tibetan population and a Han population. MATERIAL/METHODS: We...
