Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the selection effect of endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1) gene induced by high altitude hypoxia environment. METHODS: Fourteen single nucleotide polymorphism sites (SNPs) of the EPAS1 gene were genotyped using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in three Tibetan groups (58 samples from Tibetan living in an altitude of about 3700 meters above sea level, 47 from...
