Abstract excerpt

Background: The Tibetan population residing in high-altitude (HA) regions has adapted to extreme hypoxic environments. However, there is limited understanding of the genetic basis of body compositions in Tibetan population adapted to HA. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic variants associated with HA and HA-related body composition traits. A total of 755,731 single...
