Metabolic GWAS of elite athletes reveals novel genetically-influenced metabolites associated with athletic performance.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic research of elite athletic performance has been hindered by the complex phenotype and the relatively small effect size of the identified genetic variants. The aims of this study were to identify genetic predisposition to elite athletic performance by investigating genetically-influenced metabolites that discriminate elite athletes from non-elite athletes and to identify those associated with endurance...
