چکیده

Objectives: Polymorphisms in α-actinin-۳ (ACTN۳) gene are considered to be important in the genetic predisposition to human athletic performance. Most of the activities in soccer such as jumping, striking the ball, and running are considered plyometric and explosive. Performance power during such activities depends on the strength of the muscles involved. Therefore, high muscle strength is considered crucial for soccer players. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the association between ACTN۳ R۵۷۷X (rs۱۸۱۵۷۳۹) polymorphism and sports athletism in Iranian elite male soccer players. Methods: In total, ۹۰ top-level professional Iranian male soccer players and ۲۰۰ nonathletic Iranian men from the general population participated in this case–control study. Exon ۱۶ of ACTN۳ was genotyped throughout polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) using the restriction enzyme DdeI and direct sequencing. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of R۵۷۷X polymorphism in athletes were compared to the frequencies in the general population (nonathletes). Results: According to the results, the percentage distributions of ۵۷۷RR and ۵۷۷RX genotypes (۴۱% and ۳۷%, respectively) were significantly higher and lower, respectively, than that of controls (۲۵% and ۵۷%, respectively) (P< ۰.۰۰۱). However, no statistically significant difference was found between allelic frequencies (P=۰.۲۰). Discussion: Our findings showed a significant association between ACTN۳ genotypes and elite sport performance among Iranian male soccer players, which agrees with several previous studies.
