Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The role of inflammatory cytokines in High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of IL4 and IL6 gene polymorphism in the development of HAPE in Chinese people. METHODS: In the present study, we screened ten polymorphisms of IL4 and IL6 gene in 265 HAPE and 303 healthy volunteers. Genotypes were determined using the Sequenom MassARRAY method. Odds...
