HSPA1A gene polymorphism rs1008438 is associated with susceptibility to acute mountain sickness in Han Chinese individuals

ConclusionsIn our case ‐control study, there was a significant association between the rs1008348 polymorphism and AMS susceptibility, suggesting that this particular SNP might be a Han‐specific risk factor for AMS. We believe that this study establishes a foundation for further elucidation of the genetic mechanisms un derlying AMS.
