SNPs, linkage disequilibrium, and chronic mountain sickness in Tibetan Chinese
1 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is estimated at 1.2% in Tibetans living at the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Eighteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from nine nuclear genes that have an association with CMS in Tibetans have been analyzed by using pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD). The SNPs included are the angiotensin-converting enzyme (rs4340), the angiotensinogen (rs699), and the angiotensin II...
