A pilot study for determination of anxiety related SLC6A4 promoter "S" and "L" alleles in healthy Turkish athletes

Abstract: We aimed to analyze the allelic distribution of solute carrier family-6 member-4 promoter region in Turkish athletes. Recent studies showed the association of lesser expressing "S" allele with anxiety. Genotype percentages for LL, LS and SS genotypes were found as 46, 35 and 19, respectively. 38% of the males had LL, %38 had LS and 24% had SS genotypes. Percentages of LL, LS and SS genotypes were 54, 31 and 15 in females, respectively. 15 (58%) male and 18 (69%) females had L, 11 (42%) male and 8 (31%) females… Show more

“…Also there is evidence that high lactate levels are associated with muscle hypertrophy, which in turn is associated with anaerobic metabolism (Bonen et al, 1998). Environmental factors, like training, nutrition have crucial effects on athletic performance (Corak et al, 2017).…”

“…Relevant studies in the literature have detected that the basic motoric properties such as speed, strength, flexibility and nerve muscle coordination that determine the ability of an individual are related to genetic factors (Kaynar and Bilici, 2017). Furthermore, an individual's athletic ability is determined by the interaction between athletic ability, differences of the unique genetic structure and the environmental factors such as physiological adaptation to training, food habits, and sleeping pattern (Ulucan et al, 2015).Even more, nearly 70% of the athletic performance variance is explained with genetic factors (Corak et al, 2017). Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR-a) polymorphism ( rs4253778) is also one of the genes that affect athletic performance (Rankinen et al, 2009).…”

“…Athletic performance is a combination of innate genetic factors as well as several environmental factors, including nutrition, psychological factors and extent of training ( 1 ). The current body of research on athletic performance places a heavy focuses on genetic variants that contribute notably to the improved performance of individuals, as well as means of increasing performance ( 2 , 3 ).…”
