Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies <i>CDKN1A</i> as a Novel Locus Associated with Muscle Fiber Composition

Muscle fiber composition is associated with physical performance, with endurance athletes having a high proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers compared to power athletes. Approximately 45% of muscle fiber composition is heritable, however, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) underlying inter-indi...
