<i>ACTN3</i> genotype influences skeletal muscle mass regulation and response to dexamethasone
2020-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Homozygosity for the common ACTN3 null polymorphism ( ACTN3 577X) results in α-actinin-3 deficiency in ~20% of humans worldwide and is linked to reduced sprint and power performance in both elite athletes and the general population. α-Actinin-3 deficiency is also associated with reduced muscle mass and strength, increased risk of sarcopenia in the elderly, and altered response to muscle wasting induced by denerv...
