The -9/+9 polymorphism of the bradykinin receptor beta 2 Gene and athlete status: A study involving two European cohorts
Previous studies concerning the relevance of BDKRB2 gene polymorphisms revealed that the absence (-9 allele) of a nine-base-pair sequence in exon 1 of the BDKRB2 gene is correlated with higher ...

Association of the MTHFR 1298A/C (rs1801131) polymorphism with speed and strength sports in Russian and Polish athletes
It has been suggested that DNA hypomethylation because of poorer effectiveness of the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme induces muscular growth. We hypothesised that the common, ...
