Genetic aspects of skeletal muscle strength and mass with relevance to sarcopenia

4 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal muscle is a highly heritable quantitative trait, with heritability estimates ranging 30-85% for muscle strength and 50-80% for lean mass. That strong genetic contribution indicates the possibility of using genetic information to individualize treatments for sarcopenia or even aid in prevention strategies through the use of genetic screening prior to the functional limitations. Though these possibilities...
