Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) usually occurs among non-acclimated individuals after rapid ascending to high-altitude environments (generally ≥2,500 m). However, the precise molecular mechanism of AMS remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and AMS susceptibility. METHODS: In this work, sequencing data were obtained from 69...
