Why the study?
Does the ESR1 rs2234693 C allele reduce muscle injury and muscle stiffness compared to the T allele?
Does the ESR1 rs2234693 C allele reduce muscle injury and muscle stiffness compared to the T allele?
The ESR1 rs2234693 C allele may serve as a genetic marker for protection against muscle injury due to its association with lower muscle stiffness.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
Our results suggest that the ESR1 rs2234693 C allele, in contrast to the T allele, provides protection against muscle injury by lowering muscle stiffness.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet guide genetic screening or training; leaves open causal ESR1 effects on stiffness and injury.
