Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1A) is a transcription factor regulating several genes in response to hypoxic stimuli. HIF1A target genes code for proteins involved in oxygen transport, glycolytic enzymes, and glucose transporters. We investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes in the HIF1A gene are associated with endurance performance in the Genathlete cohort, which includes 316...
