TABLE 2.
Genotype distribution and allele frequency of the MCT1 gene Glu490Asp polymorphism in the European cohort.
| Status | Group | n | Genotypes (%) | Alleles (%) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T/T | T/A | A/A | T-allele | A-allele | |||
| Control | Non-athletes | 552 | 35.3 | 47.3 | 17.4 | 59.0 | 41.0 |
| Endurance | Athletes | 315 | 40.0 | 48.6 | 11.4 a | 64.3 | 35.7 a |
Genotypes were described based on the genomic alleles.
a
The genotype distribution (Codominant model: χ2 = 5.94, P = 0.05) and allele frequency (P = 0.029) in endurance athletes were significantly different from those of non-athletes.
