ACTN3 R/X gene polymorphism across ethnicity: a brief review of performance gene

Alpha-actinin-3 (ACTN3) gene is one of the most extensively investigated genes associated with human physical performance. The ACTN3 gene via ACTN3 R/X gene polymorphism codes the ACTN3 protein proteins that are localized at the boundaries of sarcomeres in the contractile apparatus of muscle Z disk. The ACTN3 R allele codes for functioning ACTN3 gene that results in the production of ACTN3 protein, while incomplete sequence in the ACTN3 X...
