Haplogroup-associated differences in neonatal death and incidence of low birth weight at elevation: A preliminary assessment

Haplogroup-associated differences in neonatal death and incidence of low birth weight at elevation: A preliminary assessment

Objective: We sought to assess reproductive fitness differences between mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid haplogroups at high altitude. Study Design: This study considers differences in outcomes of conception, birth weight, and neonatal mortality rates for 62 women classified according to haplogro...

Zusammenfassung:Objective: We sought to assess reproductive fitness differences between mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid haplogroups at high altitude. Study Design: This study considers differences in outcomes of conception, birth weight, and neonatal mortality rates for 62 women classified according to haplogroups (B or non-B). Results: The number of low-weight births (
