Adaptive PRKAA1 variant in Andeans is associated with improved ventilation and sleep phenotypes

Summary: Highland groups have adapted to the extreme selective pressures of hypoxia at high altitude via alterations in the oxygen-transport cascade. PRKAA1, which encodes the catalytic subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), is a notable target of natural selection in Andeans and has be...
