An International Centre for East African Running Science (ICEARS)

Established in Glasgow

Preliminary findingsPreliminary findings• 70 % Jamaicans habitants have the ACTN3 gene

version that produce Actinin-3 protein • 28 % of Jamaicans are heterozygous for ACTN3

gene,which has the same effect but to a lesser

degree. • The rest have the “null” form of the gene that

produces no protein at all. • Australians: only 30 % per cent were found with

the speed protein Actinin-3 • At least one billion people worldwide must be

completely deficient in Actinin-3

ACTN3 Gene and ActininACTN3 Gene and Actinin• ACTN Gene

encode forming of actin

binding proteins = Actinins

• Actinins

stabilize Actin filaments =

stronger contractions

• Two main types of

ACTN gene: ACTN2 and

ACTN3 Actinins: type 2 and

3

• ACTN2 is expressed in

all muscle fibers

• ACTN3 is only in fast twitch fibers.

Health-Related Fitness Health-Related Fitness Phenotypes: Phenotypes:

The 2006-2007 Update

The fitness and performance map now includes 214

autosomal gene entries and quantitative trait loci plus seven

others on the X chromosome.

There are 18 mitochondrial genes that have been shown

to influence fitness and performance phenotypes.

Repair of Muscle InjuriesRepair of Muscle Injuries

• Satellite cells proliferate around the wounded fiber to help the repair process• IGF-1 partly controls the building and repair of muscles by stimulating the proliferation of satellite cells. • Myostatin has the opposite effect, halting the proliferation of satellite cells.

• Usain Bolt – lined up against athletes

who almost certainly all express Actinin-3

– it can’t possibly explain the astonishing advantage he has over his competitors.

• There must be other factors at work.

Elite athletes may be born with a favorable genetic , but to realize athletic potential requires years of focused training.

Training is itself a kindof self-imposed environmental exposure, and when gifted athletes train this could be considered an example of gene–environment correlation.

The effects of training on performance variation can be dramatic.

Elite athletes are those who respond in extraordinary ways to training in order to unlock an already present potential.

Genetic EngineeringGenetic Engineering

Process has five main steps:

• 1. Isolation of the gene of interest

• 2. Insertion of the gene into a transfer vector, or

carrier (e.g. virus, bacteries)

• 3. Transfer of the vector/carrier to the organismto be modified

• 4. Transformation of the cells of the organism (e.g. virus multiplies)

• 5. Separation of the genetically modified organism from

those that have not been successfully modified
