Myostatin Polymorphisms and Age‐Related Sarcopenia in the Italian Population

1 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

To the Editor: We read with great interest the paper recently published in the Journal by Seibert et al. 1 testing the hypothesis that the genetic variation of myostatin, a transforming growth factor-beta superfamily member, plays an important role in age-associated sarcopenia. The variability of the human myostatin gene was originally characterized by Ferrell et al., 2 who determined the nucleotide sequence for...
