Résumé
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is the main cause of nontraumatic death at high altitude. HAPE development is not only related to the mode and speed of ascent and the maximum altitude reached, but also individual susceptibility plays an important role. In susceptible individuals, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to exaggerated elevated pulmonary arterial pressures and capillary leakage in the lungs. Thus, this review provides an overview of studies investigating the genetic background in HAPE susceptibles by focusing on specific variants, entire genes, genome-wide signatures, or family studies.
