Implication

Should not guide genetic testing in athletes; leaves open validation of ACE/ACTN3 variants as performance markers.

Population

Rowers (n=230), including elite rowers (n=107), and a control group (n=855).

Comparator

Control group (n=855)

Outcome

Distribution of genotypes and alleles of ACE (I/D polymorphism), ACTN 3 (R577X), NOS 3 (5/4), UCP 2 (Ala 55 Val), and UCP 3 (-55 C/T) genes, and correlation with physiological parameterssurrogate

Specific alleles (ACE I, NOS 3 5, UCP 2 Val, UCP 3 T) are associated with enhanced aerobic performance and may serve as genetic markers for athletic prognosis.
