Polymorphic variation in the human myostatin (GDF-8) gene and association with strength measures in the Women's Health and Aging Study II cohort.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society - 1 Aug 2001

Seibert M J, Xue Q L, Fried L P, Walston J D

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether polymorphic variation in the myostatin gene differentially influences the maintenance of muscle strength in older adults, and to find supportive evidence in a cohort of older women. DESIGN: Correlation study of polymorphic variation in a cohort of older women. SETTING: Representatively sampled older female population living in the eastern half of Baltimore, Maryland. PARTICIPANTS:...
