Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chinese Tibetans have a series of distinctive physiological traits which enable them to tolerate the extreme environment of the Tibetan plateau. P-selectin gene has been proved to be highly polymorphic in Europeans and Americans. Nevertheless, studies on either the frequency distributions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotype diversity and linkage disequilibrium of P-selectin gene in...
