The K153R polymorphism in the myostatin gene and muscle power phenotypes in young, non-athletic men.

The Lys(K)153Arg(R) polymorphism in exon 2 (rs1805086, 2379 A>G replacement) of the myostatin (MSTN) gene is a candidate to influence skeletal muscle phenotypes. We examined the association between the MSTN K153R polymorphism and 'explosive' leg power, assessed during sprint (30 m) and...
