Erythroid and Cardiovascular High Altitude-Selected Haplotypes in Andean Aymaras and Tibetans

2017-12-07

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Humans migrating out of Africa encountered new conditions, including living at high altitude. Tibetans and Andean Aymaras have inhabited regions of 4,000 meters or more for ~44,000 and 14,000 years respectively (Hu et al, PLoS Genet 2017, Rademaker et al, Science 2014). There is a distinct difference in erythroid phenotypes: Aymaras are polycythemic at high altitude, while most Tibetans are not. Mutations...
