Developmental and genetic components explain enhanced pulmonary volumes of female Peruvian Quechua

M Kiyamu, A Bigham, E Parra… - American journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
High altitude natives have enlarged vital capacities and residual volumes (RV). Because
pulmonary volumes are an indication of functionally relevant traits, such as diffusion
capacity, the understanding of the factors (genetic/developmental) that influence lung
volumes provides insight into the adaptive responses of highlanders. In order to test for the
effect of growth and development at high altitude on lung volumes, we obtained forced vital
capacities (FVC), RV, and total lung capacities (TLC) for a sample of 65 Peruvian females of …
