  • Title: The human genome and sport, including epigenetics, gene doping, and athleticogenomics.
    Author: Sharp NC.
    Journal: Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am; 2010 Mar; 39(1):201-15, xi. PubMed ID: 20122459.
    Abstract:
    Hugh Montgomery's discovery of the first of more than 239 fitness genes together with rapid advances in human gene therapy have created a prospect of using genes, genetic elements, and cells that have the capacity to enhance athletic performance (to paraphrase the World Anti-Doping Agency's definition of gene doping). This brief overview covers the main areas of interface between genetics and sport, attempts to provide a context against which gene doping may be viewed, and predicts a futuristic legitimate use of genomic (and possibly epigenetic) information in sport.
