The microsatellite markers with statistically significant associations with HAPE.

Allele frequencies were expressed as decimals. N = total number of chromosomes; n = number of observed alleles.HAPE = high-altitude pulmonary edema; HAPE-s = subjects susceptible to HAPE; HAPE-r = subjects resistant to HAPE.*P values were calculated by Chi-square test (2×2 contingency table) for each allele.Pc† = corrected P, which was calculated by multiplying by the number of alleles in the given locus.‡D22S0112i: An additional marker located 19 bp centromeric region from D22S280.
