Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in EPAS1 and PPARA genes and high altitude polycythemia in Chinese Tibetan population by Ziyi Chen, Zhaomei Dong, Rong Zeng, Mengna Xu, Yuanyuan Zhang, Qu Dan, Guangming Wang

“…Methods We included 78 HAPC patients and 84 healthy controls, and genotyped the EPAS1 gene SNP loci (rs6735530, rs6756667, rs7583392, and rs12467821) and PPARA rs6520015 by using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between these SNPs and HAPC; interactions between SNPs were also predicted by multifactorial dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis.ResultsWe found that the PPARA rs6520015 polymorphism was not associated with the risk of HAPC in the Chinese Tibetan population; EPAS1 rs6735530, rs6756667, rs7583392, and rs12467821 increased the risk of HAPC in some models. …”
