Differing evolutionary histories of the ACTN3*R577X polymorphism among the major human geographic groups.

It has been proposed that the functional ACTN3*R577X polymorphism might have evolved due to selection in Eurasian human populations. To test this possibility we surveyed all available population-based data for this polymorphism and performed a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of its genetic diver...
