Association of polymorphisms in angiotensin and aldosterone synthase genes of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system with high-altitude pulmonary edema

Association of polymorphisms in angiotensin and aldosterone synthase genes of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system with high-altitude pulmonary edema

Studies on different populations have suggested variability in individual susceptibility to altitude sickness depending on genetic makeup. The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) pathway plays a key role in regulation of vascular tone and circulatory homeostasis. The present study was undert...
