Role of alpha-actinin-3 in contractile properties of human single muscle fibers: a case series study in paraplegics.

Role of alpha-actinin-3 in contractile properties of human single muscle fibers: a case series study in paraplegics.

A common nonsense polymorphism in the ACTN3 gene results in the absence of α-actinin-3 in XX individuals. The wild type allele has been associated with power athlete status and an increased force output in numeral studies, though the mechanisms by which these effects occur are unclear. Recent findin...
