Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with the susceptibility to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in Chinese railway construction workers at Qinghai-Tibet where the altitude is over 4 500 m above sea level. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted including 149 HAPE patients in the construction workers and 160 healthy controls...
