Abstract
Özet
Amaç. Ege bölgesi elit sporcularının genetik alt yapılarının spordaki performansına olumlu katkısını moleküler yöntemlerle araştırmayı hedefledik. Yöntem. Moleküler genetik çalışma 105 gönüllü elit sporcu ve 105 gönüllü kontrol (sedanter bireyler) grubuna uygulandı. Her bir gönüllüden EDTA içeren tüplere 5’er mL kan alındı. DNA izolasyonu, standart protokollere göre yapıldı. Polimorfizm, Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (PZR) ve Restriksiyon Uzunluk Polimorfizmi (Restriction Fragment Leight Polymorphism=RFLP) yöntemleri uygulanarak saptandı. Çalışmamızın istatistiksel analizleri SPSS 15,0 programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular. Elit sporcuların RR ve RX genotiplerinin dağılımları, sedanter bireylerden önemli ölçüde farklı (χ2= 17,9; p=0,000) bulundu. Sonuç. Ege Bölgesinde ACTN3 R577X genotip dağılımının, elit sporcu ve kontrol grubundaki prevalansının araştırılması Ege bölgesinde ilk defa yapılan bir çalışmadır. Araştırmamızın ileride bu alanda yapılacak çalışmalara öncülük yapacağını düşünmekteyiz.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of our study is to investigate whether the genetic base of elite athletes in Aegean region have positive effects on their performance in sports by molecular techniques. Methods. Molecular genetic study was applied to the 105 volunteer elite athletes and 105 volunteer control group (sedantery individuals) individuals. Five milliliter blood samples were taken from each volunteer individuals into the tubes containing EDTA. DNA isolation was performed according to the standard protocols. Polymorphism was determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Length Polymorphism (RFLP) techniques. The statistical analysis of our study was performed by using SPSS 15.0 program. Results. Significant difference (x2 =17.9; p=0.000) was found in the distribution of RR and RX genotypes between the elite athletes and sedentary individuals (χ2= 17,9; p=0,000). Conclusion. This is the first study in the Aegean region investigating the prevalence of ACTN3 R577X genotype in elite athletes and sedentary individuals. We think that our study will initiate further researches on this subject.
