Effect of <i>ACTN3</i> R577X Genotype on Injury Epidemiology in Elite Endurance Runners

Effect of <i>ACTN3</i> R577X Genotype on Injury Epidemiology in Elite Endurance Runners

The p.R577X polymorphism (rs1815739) in the <i>ACTN3</i> gene causes individuals with the <i>ACTN3</i> XX genotype to be deficient in functional α-actinin-3. Previous investigations have found that XX athletes are more prone to suffer non-contact muscle injuries. This investi...
