Journal ArticleDOI
Association analysis of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and complex quantitative body composition and performance phenotypes in adolescent Greeks.
Colin Neil Moran,Nan Yang,Mark E.S. Bailey,Athanasios Tsiokanos,Athanasios Z. Jamurtas,Daniel G. MacArthur,Kathryn N. North,Yannis P. Pitsiladis,Richard H. Wilson +8 more
TL;DR: In a study of 992 adolescent Greeks, it is shown that there is a significant association between the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and 40 m sprint time in males that accounts for 2.3% of phenotypic variance, with the 577R allele contributing to faster times in an additive manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fat Oxidation, Fitness and Skeletal Muscle Expression of Oxidative/Lipid Metabolism Genes in South Asians: Implications for Insulin Resistance?
Lesley M. L. Hall,Colin Neil Moran,Gillian R. Milne,John Wilson,Niall G. MacFarlane,Nita G. Forouhi,Narayanan Hariharan,Ian P. Salt,Naveed Sattar,Jason M.R. Gill +9 more
TL;DR: Reduced oxidative capacity and capacity for fatty acid utilisation at the whole body level are key features of the insulin resistant phenotype observed in South Asians, but that this is not the consequence of reduced skeletal muscle expression of oxidative and lipid metabolism genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACTN3 genotype, athletic status, and life course physical capability: meta-analysis of the published literature and findings from nine studies
Tamuno Alfred,Yoav Ben-Shlomo,Rachel Cooper,Rebecca Hardy,Cyrus Cooper,Cyrus Cooper,Ian J. Deary,David Gunnell,Sarah E. Harris,Meena Kumari,Richard M. Martin,Colin Neil Moran,Yannis P. Pitsiladis,Susan M. Ring,Avan Aihie Sayer,Avan Aihie Sayer,George Davey Smith,John M. Starr,Diana Kuh,Ian N. M. Day +19 more
TL;DR: Evidence from the published literature is found to support the hypothesis that in Europeans the RR genotype is more common among sprint/power athletes compared with their controls and there is currently no evidence that the X allele is advantageous to endurance athleticism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing for predicting sports performance and talent identification: Consensus statement.
Nick Webborn,Alun G. Williams,Mike McNamee,Claude Bouchard,Yannis P. Pitsiladis,Ildus I. Ahmetov,Euan A. Ashley,Nuala M. Byrne,Silvia Camporesi,Malcolm Collins,Paul Dijkstra,Nir Eynon,Noriyuki Fuku,Fleur C. Garton,Nils Hoppe,Søren Holm,Jane Kaye,Vassilis Klissouras,Alejandro Lucia,Kamiel Maase,Colin Neil Moran,Kathryn N. North,Fabio Pigozzi,Guan Wang +23 more
TL;DR: In the current state of knowledge, no child or young athlete should be exposed to DTC genetic testing to define or alter training or for talent identification aimed at selecting gifted children or adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
No association between Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) gene variation and endurance athlete status in Kenyans.
Robert A. Scott,Colin Neil Moran,Richard H. Wilson,Vincent Onywera,Michael K. Boit,William H Goodwin,Peter Gohlke,John R. Payne,Hugh Montgomery,Yannis P. Pitsiladis +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ACE I/D and A22982G polymorphisms are not strongly associated with elite endurance athlete status amongst Kenyans.
