Literature Review of Turkish Sportsmen in Terms of ACTN3 R577X Polymorphism

Abstract: The effect of genes on individual athletic performance is accepted; however, the extent of their effects remains elusive. To date, many studies on different genomic regions that are considered to have an effect on human athletic performance and sportsmen in different types of sports, such as football, basketball, judo, and wrestling, have been conducted. However, the number of these studies with Turkish players as subjects is not adequate. This literature review aimed to collate the results of alpha-actinin-3 … Show more

“…The RX genotype for the ACTN3 genotype was higher compared with RR, and no XX genotypes were detected. The R allele, which is considered to be the wild-type allele, is associated with the rapid contraction of the sarcomeres, and thus considered superior ( 4 ).…”

“…Sports genetics studies include the determination of genes/gene polymorphisms affecting athletic performance, the determination of the molecular mechanisms regulated by these genes, and the determination of predispositions to enhanced athletic performance. These studies serve an important, role not only in individual sports, but also in nutrition, and in the design of physiological and psychological training programs suitable for the specific genetic profile of an athlete ( 4 , 5 ).…”

“…Yapılan çalışmalar, atletik performansın oluşumunu ve gelişimini, çevresel faktörler ve farklı gen gruplarının etkileşimi ile belirlendiğini göstermiştir (Ulucan, 2016). Atletik performans multifaktöryel (birçok gen ailesi ve çevresel faktörlerin etkileşimi ile oluşan özellikler) bir özelliktir; 20' den fazla polimorfizm elit dayanıklılık performansı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir (MacIejewska-Karłowska ve ark., 2012).…”

“…Many studies have been carried out on the genetic zones which are thought to be affecting the performances of athletes of various sports fields such as football, basketball, judo, and wrestling. However, studies done with Turkish athletes on this subject are not much fewer when it is compared with the studies in all literature (Ulucan et al;Ulucan, 2015Ulucan, , 2016. Up until today, the studies on polymorphisms of MSTN gene have been carried out with athletes of other fields such as swimmers, athletes, bodybuilders and weightlifters.…”
