The genetic adaptation of Tibetans to high altitude hypoxia likely involves a group of genes in the hypoxic pathway,as suggested by earlier studies.To test the adaptive role of the previously reported candidate gene EP300 (histone acetyltransferase p300),we conducted resequencing of a 108.9 kb gene region of EP300 in 80 unrelated Tibetans.The allele-frequency and haplotype-based neutrality tests detected signals of positive Darwinian selection on EP300 in Tibetans,with a group of variants showing allelic divergence between Tibetans and lowland reference populations,including Han Chinese,Europeans,and Africans.Functional prediction suggested the involvement of multiple EP300 variants in gene expression regulation.More importantly,genetic association tests in 226 Tibetans indicated significant correlation of the adaptive EP300 variants with blood nitric oxide (NO) concentration.Collectively,we propose that EP300 harbors adaptive variants in Tibetans,which might contribute to high-altitude adaptation through regulating NO production. 相似文献

Modern humans have occupied almost all possible environments globally since exiting Africa about 100,000 years ago. Both behavioral and biological adaptations have contributed to their success in surviving the rigors of climatic extremes, including cold, strong ultraviolet radiation, and high altitude. Among these environmental stresses, high-altitude hypoxia is the only condition in which traditional technology is incapable of mediating its effects. Inhabiting at >3,000-m high plateau, the Tibetan population provides a widely studied example of high-altitude adaptation. Yet, the genetic mechanisms underpinning long-term survival in this environmental extreme remain unknown. We performed an analysis of genome-wide sequence variations in Tibetans. In combination with the reported data, we identified strong signals of selective sweep in two hypoxia-related genes, EPAS1 and EGLN1. For these two genes, Tibetans show unusually high divergence from the non-Tibetan lowlanders (Han Chinese and Japanese) and possess high frequencies of many linked sequence variations as reflected by the Tibetan-specific haplotypes. Further analysis in seven Tibetan populations (1,334 individuals) indicates the prevalence of selective sweep across the Himalayan region. The observed indicators of natural selection on EPAS1 and EGLN1 suggest that during the long-term occupation of high-altitude areas, the functional sequence variations for acquiring biological adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia have been enriched in Tibetan populations. 相似文献

Tibetans are well adapted to high-altitude hypoxia.Previous genome-wide scans have reported many candidate genes for this adaptation,but only a few have been studied.Here we report on a hypoxia gene (GCH1,GTP-cyclohydrolase I),involved in maintaining nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) function and normal blood pressure,that harbors many potentially adaptive variants in Tibetans.We resequenced an 80.8 kb fragment covering the entire gene region of GCH1 in 50 unrelated Tibetans.Combined with previously published data,we demonstrated many GCH1 variants showing deep divergence between highlander Tibetans and lowlander Han Chinese.Neutrality tests confirmed a signal of positive Darwinian selection on GCH1 in Tibetans.Moreover,association analysis indicated that the Tibetan version of GCH1 was significantly associated with multiple physiological traits in Tibetans,including blood nitric oxide concentration,blood oxygen saturation,and hemoglobin concentration.Taken together,we propose that GCH1 plays a role in the genetic adaptation of Tibetans to high altitude hypoxia. 相似文献
