The genetic basis of chronic mountain sickness.

Physiology (Bethesda, Md.) - 1 Nov 2014

Ronen Roy, Zhou Dan, Bafna Vineet, Haddad Gabriel G

Abstract excerpt

Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a disease that affects many high-altitude dwellers, particularly in the Andean Mountains in South America. The hallmark symptom of CMS is polycythemia, which causes increased risk of pulmonary hypertension and stroke (among other symptoms). A prevailing hypothesis in high-altitude medicine is that CMS results from a population-specific "maladaptation" to the hypoxic conditions...
