Association of a common D3 dopamine receptor gene variant is associated with sensation seeking in skiers and snowboarders
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) alleles in the Quechua, a high altitude South American native population
Recently it was reported that an allelic variant of the gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was significantly over-represented in a cohort of elite British mountaineers. It was proposed that this may be evidence for a specific genetic factor influencing the human capacity for physical performance. The implication that this allele could enhance performance at high altitude prompted us to determine its frequency in Quechua speaking na…
Fibrinogen allele frequencies in Peruvian Quechua, a high-altitude native population
Elevated hematocrits, which are found in many high-altitude populations, increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood and may represent an adaptation to hypoxic environments. However, as high hematocrit increases blood viscosity, which in turn is associated with hypertension and heart disease, it may be advantageous for high-altitude populations to limit other factors that contribute to increased blood viscosity. One such factor is the plasma c…
