We sequenced the two genes (ATP6 and ATP8) of ATP synthase and compared the frequencies of nucleotide variants among elite endurance runners (n=10), non-elite endurance runners (n=50), elite sprinters (n=3), other athletes (n=25), and healthy untrained individuals (controls; n=21). The frequency of Mt8414C→T (Leul7Phe in ATP8) was lower in the elite runners (30%) than in the controls (57%), but the difference was not significant. In contrast, the higher frequency of Mt8563A→G (Thrl3Ala in ATP6) was observed in the elite runners (30%) than in other groups (non-elite runners; 2%, elite sprinters; 0%, other athletes; 12%, and controls; 5%). There was a significant difference between the elite runners and the non-elite runners (p<0.05). The elite runners had a lower frequency of Mt8701A→G (Thr59Ala in ATP6) (40%) than controls (71%), although the difference was not significant. Significantly higher frequency of Mt8794C→T (His90Tyr in ATP6) was found in the elite runners (50%) than in other groups (non-elite runners, 8%; other athletes, 12%; and controls, 5%). These results suggest that Mt8794T is related to high performance in endurance running.}, pages = {19--22}, title = {エリート陸上競技長距離走者におけるミトコンドリアATP8/6遺伝子の一塩基多型}, volume = {25}, year = {2002} }
