The ACE gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and elite endurance swimming

Human physical performance is influenced by genetic factors. A variation in the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been identified, in which the insertion (I) variant may be associated with elite endurance performance, and the deletion (D) variant seems overrepresented amongst elit...
