Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in EPAS1 and PPARA genes and high altitude polycythemia in Chinese Tibetan population
6 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background High altitude polycythemia (HAPC) is a disease with high morbidity and great harm in high altitude populations. It has been shown that Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) correlate with the genetic basis of adaptation to plateau hypoxia in Tibetan populations. The EPAS1 and PPARA genes are involved in hypoxia adaptation by encoding transcription factors in Tibetan populations at high altitude. The...
