That is the good question and you probably know the answer. In case of the COPD patient you have less perfusion of the oxygen. The red blood cell production is stimulated by the low concentration of the oxygen.

If you ran your DNA samples on a 0.8 agarose gel would you get the same results if you ran your samples on a higher percentage agarose gel?
Yes and no - it will not change the result, as such, but the resolution will be affected. The higher the density (percentage) of agarose the more it will retard your DNA sample, so larger DNA fragements run more slowly and at high percentage won't run into the gel properly. Essentially, high percentage (2%) gels are ideal for looking at small DNA fragments (100bp) and low percentage (0.7%) are for large DNA fragments (2kb). I find this webpage from Fermentas very useful for deciding what percentage to use and has lots of other useful bits on it: http://www.fermentas.com/techinfo/appendix/appendixtables1.htm#DNAMigration
