Mitochondrial DNA and ACTN3 genotypes in Finnish elite endurance and sprint athletes.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Aug 2005

Niemi Anna-Kaisa, Majamaa Kari

Abstract excerpt

Differences in ACTN3 (alpha-actinin 3) genotypes have been reported among endurance and power athletes. Elite athletic performance in endurance sports should also depend on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) that produces ATP for muscle metabolism. We determined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and ACTN3 genotypes in Finnish elite endurance (n = 52) and sprint (n = 89) athletes, and found that the...
