Abstract excerpt
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a common acute altitude sickness. This study was designed to investigate the effect of MIR17HG polymorphisms on HAPE risk in the Chinese population. The Agena MassARRAY platform was used to genotype six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MIR17HG gene in 244 HAPE patients and 243 non-HAPE controls. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval were used to...
