Abstract excerpt
We assessed gene-gene and gene-physical activity interactions of polymorphisms in C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and lymphotoxin α (LTA) genes on lower extremity performance in community-dwelling elders in Taiwan. Five SNPs (rs1205, rs1130864, rs1800947, rs2794520, and rs3093059) of CRP gene, three SNPs (, , and ) of LTA gene, and three SNPs (,...
