Abstract

Recent large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have independently identified a set of genetic loci associated with lean body mass (LBM) and handgrip strength (HGS). Evaluation of these candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be useful to investigate genetic traits of populations at higher or lower risk of muscle dysfunction. As such, we investigated associations between six SNPs linked to LBM or HGS, in a population of elite master athletes (MA), and age-matched controls, as a representative population of older individuals with variable maintenance of muscle mass and function. Genomic DNA was isolated from buffy coat samples of 96 individuals (consisting of 48 MA (71±6yrs; age graded performance 83±9%) and 48 older controls (75±6yrs)). SNP validation and sample genotyping was conducted using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). For the 3 SNPs analysed that were previously associated with LBM (FTO, IRS1 and ADAMTSL3), multinomial logistic regression revealed a significant association of the ADAMTSL3 genotype with %LBM (P
