No association with elite endurance status in this case-control study; leaves open genetic influences on performance in other cohorts.
Is the ACE ID polymorphism associated with elite endurance athlete status?
The ACE ID polymorphism is not associated with elite endurance athlete status or higher cardiorespiratory endurance performance.
Rankinen et al. (2000) studied this question.
