Altitude sickness: Hyperventilatory capacity may predict altitude sickness
BMJ, 2003 EDITOR–Barry and Pollard reviewed altitude sickness.1 Tibetans and Sherpas (of Tibetan origin) have better physical performance at high altitude than whitepeople,2 possibly because of genetic differences.3 Acute adaptation to high altitude and low oxygen supply is primarilyby hyperventilation, which both improves oxygen saturation and increases blood ...

Variants of the low oxygen sensors EGLN1 and HIF-1AN associated with acute mountain sickness. [PDF]
, 2014 Two low oxygen sensors, Egl nine homolog 1 (EGLN1) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α inhibitor (HIF-1AN), play pivotal roles in the regulation of HIF-1α, and high altitude adaption may be involved in the pathology of acute mountain sickness (AMS).

An overview of high altitude and mountain sickness
Tungs’ Medical Journal, 2023 Acute mountain sickness (AMS) refers to the impact of the environment on body health at high elevations. It is classified into three based on the onset condition, namely, AMS, high-altitude cerebral edema, and high-altitude pulmonary edema.
