Abstract | Genotypic associations between polymorphisms in the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and CNTF receptor (CNTFR) genes and muscular strength phenotypes in 154 middle-aged men (45-49 yr) and 138 women (38-44 yr) and 99 older men (60-78 yr) and 102 older women (60-80 yr) were tested to validate earlier association studies. Allelic interaction effects were hypothesized between alleles of CNTF and CNTFR. We performed analysis of covariance with age, height, and fat-free mass (FFM) as covariates. FFM was anthropometrically estimated by the equation of Durnin-Womersley. Isometric, concentric, and eccentric torques for the knee flexors (KF) and extensors (KE) were measured using Biodex dynamometry. In the older male group, T-allele carriers of the C-1703T polymorphism in CNTFR performed significantly better on all noncorrected KF torques, whereas only noncorrected KE isometric torque at 120 degrees and concentric torque at 240 degrees/s were higher than the C/C homozygotes (P < 0.05). When age, height, and FFM were used as covariates, T-allele carriers performed only better on KE and KF isometric torque at 120 degrees (P < 0.05). Concentric KF torque at 180 degrees/s was lower in middle-aged female A-allele carriers compared with the T/T subjects for the T1069A polymorphism in CNTFR. After correction for age, height, and FFM, middle-aged female A-allele carriers exhibited lower values on all concentric KF strength measures and isometric torque at 120 degrees . There was a lack of association with the CNTF G-6A polymorphism in men, with inconclusive results for a limited number of phenotypes in women. No significant CNTF/CNTFR allele interaction effects were found. Results indicate that CNTFR C-1703T and T1069A polymorphisms are significantly associated with muscle strength in humans. |
