No association between Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) gene variation and endurance athlete status in Kenyans

East African runners are continually successful in international distance running. The extent to which genetic factors influence this phenomenon is unknown. The insertion (I) rather than deletion (D) of a 287 bp fragment in the human angiotensin converting enzyme ( ACE) gene is associated with lower...
