myDNA

(character) path to the genotype file

Details

SOURCE: 23andMe report INFO: A genetic marker in the ACTN3 gene. This marker controls whether muscle cells produce a protein (called alpha-actinin-3) that's found in fast-twitch muscle fibers. While some people don't produce this protein at all, almost all of the elite power athletes who have been studied have a genetic variant that allows them to produce the protein. This suggests that the protein may be beneficial at least at the highest levels of power-based athletic competition.

NOTE! MyHeritage genotypes do not report this SNP, however missing genotypes can be imputed and accessed by DNALand imputation tool

!!!! myAllele column reports whether risk allele was identified in my genome
