Kuidas maksarakk on erinev sooleepiteelist? Miks ühed inimesed saavutavad edu sportlasena ja teised on edukad muusikuna? Millised faktorid tingivad selle, et oleme teineteisest erinevad?

13 Talendiotsingud Invited Editorial J Appl Physiol 108: , 2010; doi: /japplphysiol Genetics-based performance talent research: polymorphisms as predictors of endurance performance M. Schoenfelder Technical University Munich, Institute of Public Health Research, Munich, Germany IN THE ANCIENT GREEK, talent was one of several mass units, indicating approximately the amount of water required to fill an amphora. The parable of the talents of the New Testament leads, in the 16th century, to changing the sense of the word talent to meaning gift or skill. In sport science, the talent of a sportsman could be defined by the complement of genes he inherited from his parents. De Moor and coworkers provided indirect support for this thesis in their twin pair study, which was the first genomewide linkage scan for sports participation (6). They estimated the heritability of athlete status at 66%. However, such data do not reveal whether physical performance in endurance exercise or athletic sport is influenced by a single or multiple genes. For instance, mutations in the negative muscle mass regulator myostatin gene lead to tremendous increases in muscle tissue mass (12, 13), and yet nobody inducible factor-1 (HIF1A) gene in elite endurance athletes. HIF1A regulates the transcription of numerous genes in response to hypoxic stimuli. A number of genes responsive to HIF1 relate to erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and metabolism. VO2max vastus treeningule on ennustatav 30 geeni RNA analüüsiga By using the Geneathlete cohort, Döring and colleagues found a statistically significant difference in the distribution of HIF1A Pro582Ser (rs ) genotypes between a sedentary control group [maximum O2 uptake (V O2max) of ml kg 1 min 1 ] and highly trained endurance athletes (V O2max of ml kg 1 min 1 ).

Alternatively, Döring et al. specu- would claim that myostatin is the sole determinant of muscular lated that the HIF1A variant could evoke a faster transcription performance. The potential for genes to influence human variation in physical performance is illustrated by the fact that Although the evidence of an association with endurance induction of related genes. vastupidavusalale there are more than 30,000 genes in the human genome and performance remains weak, the results of this study represent 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms. Moreover, superimposed on this genetic variability, epigenetic modifica- determinants of athletic status.
