Overview of causes and consequences of hypoxia and HIF-1α activation in the context of MDs. The activation of hypoxic response pathways could emerge as a consequence of the primary genetic defect, or via the induction of hypoxia stress response pathways as a result of an indirect mechanisms e.g., respiratory insufficiency (inducing hypoxemia) and vascular alteration (causing ischemia).
