Genetic Background Matters
Genetic background plays a crucial role in interpreting sports genome tests, as findings can vary significantly across different populations. For instance, the ACE gene's predictive power differs drastically, with Caucasians showing a 20% variance in protein outcomes, while other groups, like African Americans and South Africans, show negligible effects. This highlights the importance of considering genetic diversity when assessing athletic performance and traits.In this clip
