Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: India has a heterogeneous geographical location with varying ethnic groups with distinct genetic pools. Polymorphisms R577X and insertion/deletion (I/D), occurring in α-actinin3 (ACTN3) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genes, respectively, are reportedly associated with sprint and endurance performance. The normative genetic background of a population provides the baseline genetic diversity of...
