SNP - Better Performing Muscles

Submitted by lgarneau on Thu, 04/18/2019 - 09:51

After analysis of SNP data from Promethease I was able to distinguish one of my good conditions. Muscle Performance, which is popular on SNPedia, is regarded to as a good condition for me. The Rsid is rs1815739(C;C). This specific SNP is for, “Better performing muscles. Likely sprinter. This genotype indicates better performing muscles, particularly for sprinting and power sports. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are able to produce alpha-actinin-3. Professional sprinters usually have this, although it is less common for endurance athletes.” This SNP was determined, “in the ACTN3 gene, which encodes a premature stop codon in a muscle protein called alpha-actinin-3. The polymorphism alters position 577 of the alpha-actinin-3 protein.” Since the muscles are better performing I can use them to their fullest extent. Exercising by doing things such as sprints and HIIT (high intensity interval training) will keep them in great shape.
