Are and polymorphisms associated with power and endurance athletes?

Genetic polymorphisms within physiologically relevant and genes were examined in the context of athletic performance. KIF6 and ApoE are involved in cardiovascular health, modulation of lipid level and neurotransmission amongst others. The aim of this study was to examine whether three polymorphisms, rs20455T > C, rs429358T > C and rs7412 C > T, were associated with athletic status of an athlete defined as performance type (endurance or power).
