With an average elevation exceeding 16,500 feet (5,000 metres) above sea level, it lies between the Kunlun Mountains to the north, the Tanggula Mountains to the east, and the Nyainqêntanglha Mountains to the south and stretches some 800 miles (1,300 km) from the mountain complex called the Pamirs in the west to the region of the Qaidam Basin in the northeast.
Located high on the Tibetan plateau just west of the disputed border with China and with an average elevation exceeding 4,500 meters (14,800 ft) lay the sparsely populated eastern parts of Ladakh, India.

Because the company producing the drug (Novartis) had archived DNA from Phase 3 clinical trials they were able to perform a genome wide association study (GWAS) on just 41 treated subjects who experienced an ALT elevation exceeding 5 X ULN and 176 treated subjects who maintained serum ALT elevations <1.5 X ULN throughout treatment [ 18].
Each of the 9-month-old D2 mice used in this study had a single IOP measurement (to confirm the development of spontaneous IOP elevation exceeding 20 mm Hg; n=25 for D2 mice, n=33 for D2 mice transduced with AAV2-GFP or AAV2-Null, n=59 for D2 mice transduced with AAV2-DRP1K38A).
The Tien Shan mountain belts stretch east-west for more than 2,000 km, with elevation exceeding 7,000 m in places (Nelson et al. 1987).
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has unique climatic and geochemical characteristics including high elevation (exceeding 4,500 meters on average), low temperature, limited nutrients and intense UV radiation [ 13– 15].
After measuring the IOP, we used the glaucomatous D2 mice that had spontaneous IOP elevation exceeding 20 mm Hg and the mice were confirmed by examining the ON axon damage.
Its mean absolute elevation exceeds 1,640 feet (500 m), and its ice varies from 1,300 to 2,950 feet (400 to 900 m) thick.
A distinct but relatively small population in the top right corners of the elevation and phase distributions represents mainly second-hop echoes, while another population at close ranges centred at Δ ≈ 10° results from "wrapping" of the returns whose elevation exceeds Δ2π.
