Genomics and athletic performance: an emerging discipline that is not yet ready for society.
Genomics of athletic performance is an emerging discipline with a high degree of controversy. With the existing level of evidence, it is both premature and highly risky to exploit current human genomics knowledge to predict exercise and sports performance or enhance existing training methodologies. Until more solid evidence on the influence of genomic variants in athletic performance becomes available, accompanied by regulatory approved genome-guided recommendations, all genetic associations should be restricted from general public access as commercial services, since genomic markers cannot per se predict athletic performance for talent identification, resistance to injuries or the ability to recover from them. Evidently, the complex interplay of genetics with other physical, physiological and even psychological and mental characteristics to produce a world-class athlete is still not understood.
期刊介绍:
Human Genomics is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that focuses on the application of genomic analysis in all aspects of human health and disease, as well as genomic analysis of drug efficacy and safety, and comparative genomics.
Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to: pharmacogenomics, genome-wide association studies, genome-wide sequencing, exome sequencing, next-generation deep-sequencing, functional genomics, epigenomics, translational genomics, expression profiling, proteomics, bioinformatics, animal models, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, human population genetics and comparative genomics.
