The genetics of muscle atrophy and growth: the impact and implications of polymorphisms in animals and humans.

The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology - 1 Oct 2005

Gordon Erynn S, Gordish Dressman Heather A, Hoffman Eric P

Abstract excerpt

Much of the vast diversity we see in animals and people is governed by genetic loci that have quantitative effects of phenotype (quantitative trait loci; QTLs). Here we review the current knowledge of the genetics of atrophy and hypertrophy in both animal husbandry (meat quantity and quality), and humans (muscle size and performance). The selective breeding of animals for meat has apparently led to a few genetic...
