Hypoxia: adapting to high altitude by mutating EPAS-1, the gene encoding HIF-2α.

High altitude medicine & biology - 1 Jan 2011

van Patot Martha C Tissot, Gassmann Max

Abstract excerpt

Living at high altitude is demanding and thus drives adaptational mechanisms. The Tibetan population has had a longer evolutionary period to adapt to high altitude than other mountain populations such as Andeans. As a result, some Tibetans living at high altitudes do not show markedly elevated red blood cell production as compared to South American high altitude natives such as Quechuas or Aymaras, thereby...
