Genetic influence on athletic performance.

Current opinion in pediatrics - 1 Dec 2013

Guth Lisa M, Roth Stephen M

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize the existing literature on the genetics of athletic performance, with particular consideration for the relevance to young athletes. RECENT FINDINGS: Two gene variants, ACE I/D and ACTN3 R577X, have been consistently associated with endurance (ACE I/I) and power-related (ACTN3 R/R) performance, though neither can be considered predictive. The role of genetic variation in injury risk...
