NR3C2 Gene is Associated with Susceptibility to High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema in Han Chinese

ConclusionsThe rs5522 polymorphism of the NR3C2 gene was associated with HAPE susceptibility in Chinese subjects. The A allele may contribute to the susceptibility to HAPE. The frequency of the C-A and C-G haplotypes of rs2070951 and rs5522 in the NR3C2 gene may increase the risk of HAPE.
