Population Genetic Polymorphism of Skeletal Muscle Strength Related Genes in Five Ethnic Minorities in North China.

ABSTRACT: Musculoskeletal performance is a complex trait influenced by environmental and genetic factors, and it has different manifestations in different populations. Heilongjiang province, located in northern China, is a multi-ethnic region with human cultures dating back to the Paleolithic Age. The Daur, Hezhen, Ewenki, Mongolian and Manchu ethnic groups in Heilongjiang province may have strong physical fitness to a certain extent. Based on the genetic characteristics of significant correlation between some important genes and skeletal muscle function, this study selected 23 SNPs of skeletal muscle strength-related genes and analyzed the distribution of these loci and genetic diversity in the five ethnic groups.
