Highland native Andeans have resided at altitude for millennia. They display high aerobic capacity (VO₂max) at altitude, which may be a reflection of genetic adaptation to hypoxia. Previous genomewide (GW) scans for natural selection have nominated Egl-9 homolog 1 gene (EGLN1) as a candidate gene. The encoded protein, EGLN1/PHD2, is an O₂ sensor th...
