Elite endurance athletes and the ACE I allele--the role of genes in athletic performance.

Human genetics - 1 Jul 1998

Gayagay G, Yu B, Hambly B, Boston T, Hahn A, Celermajer D S, Trent R J

Abstract excerpt

Genetic markers that might contribute to the making of an elite athlete have not been identified. Potential candidate genes might be found in the renin-angiotensin pathway, which plays a key role in the regulation of both cardiac and vascular physiology. In this study, DNA polymorphisms derived f...
