Abstract excerpt
High-altitude pregnancy presents the complex physiological challenge of fulfilling maternal, placental, and fetal metabolic demands under chronic ambient hypoxia. Highland Andeans exhibit signs of adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia, showing relative protection against altitude-associated fetal growth restriction (FGR) and the positive selection of metabolic genes linked to placental mitochondrial capacity.
