title: [Influence of the MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism with physical performance and function of cardiovascular system in athletes].
abstract: The aim of the was to investigate the interrelation between MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism and morphometric echocardiography and physiologic parameters in male ski racers (n = 23). Genotyping was performed by RFLP. Echocardiography was performed by ultrasound scanner Nemio MX (Toshiba, Japan). We found that the MTHFR C677 allele was associated with low myocardial growth and high physical performance of athletes.
