Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a potentially deadly disease associated with exposure to altitudes greater than 3000 m. Individuals who have previously experienced HAPE are at a significantly higher risk of recurrence, suggesting an underlying genetic component to HAPE pathogenesis. In a previous nuclear genomic study of individual variation in susceptibility to HAPE, the endothelial nitric...
