Sažetak
This study examined whether dermatoglyphic characteristics are associated with the α-actinin isoform 3 (ACTN3) R577X sequence variant, employing descriptive and comparative approaches. Boys (N=82) were classified according to the dermatoglyphic configuration of their digital impressions into the following groups: Anaerobic Power (AP=8); Speed Resistance (SR=44); Pure Force (PF=5), and Aerobic Resistance (AR=25). All of the AP group subjects (9.76% of the subjects) had a genetic predisposition for anaerobic power performance, with 37.5% being RR homozygotes and 62.5% being RX heterozygotes. The dermatoglyphic profiles, correlated with the ALW fingerprint formulas, classified the SR group (53.66% of the subjects) as having speed resistance. The PF group (6.09% of the subjects) notably all had AL fingerprints and an absence of W. Finally, the AR group (30.49% of the subjects) had a predisposition for aerobic capacity. In conclusion, dermatoglyphic features can be associated with the R577X allelic variant of the ACTN3 gene, as much through anaerobic muscle power profiling as through the ACTN3 genotype.
