Research Abstract
High-altitude adaptation studies have focused on low-hemoglobin-type adaptation by specific mutations in the EPAS1 gene in the Tibetan population, but few studies have focused on diversity within the population. Therefore, in this study, we performed physiological measurements of Tibetan and Andean populations by field research, and clarified various factors (gender, age, genetic background) related to their physiological variations.
