C34T mutation of the AMPD1 gene in an elite white runner.

Abstract excerpt

The case is reported of an elite, male, white endurance runner (28 years of age), who is one of the best non-African runners in the world despite carrying the C34T mutation in the gene (AMPD1) that encodes the skeletal muscle specific isoform of AMP deaminase, an enzyme that plays an important role in muscle metabolism. The frequency of the mutant allele in sedentary white people is 8-11%. Previous research has...
