Publication: Genç Basketbolcularda Anjiotensin Dönüştürücü Enzim (ACE I/D) ve Alfa- Aktinin-3 (ACTN3 R577X) Gen Polimorfizmlerinin Belirlenmesi İçin Pilot Bir Çalışma
Abstract
Ç alışmamızda 17si kız, 7 si erkek 24 genç bas- ketbol oyuncusunda alfa- aktinin-3 (ACTN3) R577X ve anjiyotensin dönüştürücü enzim (ACE) I/D polimorfizmlerinin dağılımlarının belirlemeyi amaçladık. Çalışmamıza gönüllü katılan oyuncular- dan DNA eldesi, ağız içi epitel hücrelerinden ticari kit kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. ACNT3 genotip- lemesi için polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu- restriksi- yon enzimi kesimi (PCR- RFLP) metodu, ACE içinse PCR metodu kullanılmıştır. ACTN3 genotipi için 16 oyuncu RR, 6 sı RX ve 2 oyuncu da XX olarak bu- lunmuştur. Cinsiyetlerine göre ayırdığımızda 17 kız oyuncunun 11i RR, 4ü RX ve 2si XX, erkeklerde ise 5 ve 2 oyuncu sırasıyla RR ve RX genotiplerinde bulunmuştur. ACE için, 11 oyuncu DD, 12 oyuncu ID ve sadece 1 oyuncu II genotipindedir. Cinsiyetlerine göre incelediğimizde kızlarda 7 oyuncu DD, 10 oyuncu ID genotipinde, erkelerde ise 4 oyuncu DD, 2 oyuncu ID ve yalnız 1 oyuncu II genotipindedir. ACTN3 R alleli kızlarda 26, erkeklerde 12, X alleli ise kızlarda 8, er- keklerde 2 olarak bulunmuştur. ACE genotipi için D alleli kızlarda 24, erkeklerde 10, I alleli ise kızlarda 10 ve erkeklerde 4 olarak saptanmıştır. Bu çalışma- mızda ACTN3 DD genotipinin ve R alleinin, ACE poli- morfizminde ise ID genotipinin ve D alleinin çalışma grubunda daha baskın olduğu görülmüştür. Bu oyuncu grubunda ilk kez gerçekleştirilen bu pilot çalışma ile bundan sonra daha yüksek veri kaynaklı çalışmalara ışık tutacağı inancındayız.
T he aim of this study was to determine the allelic distribution of alpha- actinin-3 (ACTN3) R577X and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) I/D poly- morphisms in a total of 24 elite young basketball players, 17 female and 7 male. DNA samples from the players were isolated from buccal cells by using commercial DNA isolation kit. Genotyping process for ACTN3 was carried out by polymerase chain re- action- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR- RFLP), and PCR for ACE. 16 of the examined players had RR, 6 had RX and 2 of the players had XX genotype for the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism. When we examine them according to genders, 11 of the 17 female players had RR, 4 had RX and 2 had XX genotypes. For males, 5 and 2 players had RR and RX genotypes, respectively. For ACE, 11 players were DD, 12 were ID and only one of them was II. 7 had DD and 10 had ID genotypes for the females; 4 had DD, 2 had ID and only one had II genotype. R allele of the ACTN3 was counted as 26 in females and 12 in males, whereas X allele was 8 in females and 2 in males. For ACE, D allele was counted as 24 in females and 10 in males, whereas I allele coun- ted as 10 in females and 4 in males. Our results showed that ACTN3 RR genotype and R allele,ACE ID geotype and D allele dominated in our cohort. We hope that this first pilot study carried out in basketball players will guide further studies with extended numbers of players.
