Genetic Predisposition to High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema
Abstract
Background: Exaggerated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a hallmark of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). The objective of this study was therefore to investigate genetic predisposition to HAPE by analyzing PAH candidate genes in a HAPE-susceptible (HAPE-S) family and in unrelated HAPE-S mountaineers. Materials and Methods: Eight family members and 64 mountaineers were clinically and genetically assessed using a PAH-specific gene...
