Genetics of muscle strength and power: polygenic profile similarity limits skeletal muscle performance.

Journal of sports sciences - 1 Oct 2011

Hughes David C, Day Stephen H, Ahmetov Ildus I, Williams Alun G

Abstract excerpt

Environmental and genetic factors influence muscle function, resulting in large variations in phenotype between individuals. Multiple genetic variants (polygenic in nature) are thought to influence exercise-related phenotypes, yet how the relevant polymorphisms combine to influence muscular strength in individuals and populations is unclear. In this analysis, 22 genetic polymorphisms were identified in the...
