Polymorphisms of renin-angiotensin system genes as a risk factor for high-altitude pulmonary oedema

Polymorphisms of renin-angiotensin system genes as a risk factor for high-altitude pulmonary oedema

The genes of the renin—angiotensin system (RAS) play an important role in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone. Although studies on individual genes polymorphisms have reported association with high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE), studies on multiple genes or epistasis are lacking. We therefo...
