The aim of this study was to determine the allelic distribution of alpha- actinin-3 (ACTN3) R577X and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphisms in a total of 24 elite young basketball players, 17 female and 7 male. DNA samples from the players were isolated from buccal cells by using commercial DNA isolation kit. Genotyping process for ACTN3 was carried out by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR- RFLP), and PCR for ACE. 16 of the examined players had RR, 6 had RX and 2 of the players had XX genotype for the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism. When we examine them according to genders, 11 of the 17 female players had RR, 4 had RX and 2 had XX genotypes. For males, 5 and 2 players had RR and RX genotypes, respectively. For ACE, 11 players were DD, 12 were ID and only one of them was II. 7 had DD and 10 had ID genotypes for the females; 4 had DD, 2 had ID and only one had II genotype. R allele of the ACTN3 was counted as 26 in females and 12 in males, whereas X allele was 8 in females and 2 in males. For ACE, D allele was counted as 24 in females and 10 in males, whereas I allele counted as 10 in females and 4 in males. Our results showed that ACTN3 RR genotype and R allele,ACE ID geotype and D allele dominated in our cohort. We hope that this first pilot study carried out in basketball players will guide further studies with extended numbers of players.

Çalışmamızda 17’si kız, 7’ si erkek 24 genç basketbol oyuncusunda alfa- aktinin-3 (ACTN3) R577X ve anjiyotensin dönüştürücü enzim (ACE) I/D polimorfizmlerinin dağılımlarının belirlemeyi amaçladık. Çalışmamıza gönüllü katılan oyunculardan DNA eldesi, ağız içi epitel hücrelerinden ticari kit kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. ACNT3 genotiplemesi için polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu- restriksiyon enzimi kesimi (PCR- RFLP) metodu, ACE içinse PCR metodu kullanılmıştır. ACTN3 genotipi için 16 oyuncu RR, 6’ sı RX ve 2 oyuncu da XX olarak bulunmuştur. Cinsiyetlerine göre ayırdığımızda 17 kız oyuncunun 11’i RR, 4’ü RX ve 2’si XX, erkeklerde disise 5 ve 2 oyuncu sırasıyla RR ve RX genotiplerinde bulunmuştur. ACE için, 11 oyuncu DD, 12 oyuncu ID ve sadece 1 oyuncu II genotipindedir. Cinsiyetlerine göre incelediğimizde kızlarda 7 oyuncu DD, 10 oyuncu ID genotipinde, erkelerde ise 4 oyuncu DD, 2 oyuncu ID ve yalnız 1 oyuncu II genotipindedir. ACTN3 R alleli kızlarda 26, erkeklerde 12, X alleli ise kızlarda 8, erkeklerde 2 olarak bulunmuştur. ACE genotipi için D alleli kızlarda 24, erkeklerde 10, I alleli ise kızlarda 10 ve erkeklerde 4 olarak saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmamızda ACTN3 DD genotipinin ve R alleinin, ACE polimorfizminde ise ID genotipinin ve D alleinin çalışma grubunda daha baskın olduğu görülmüştür. Bu oyuncu grubunda ilk kez gerçekleştirilen bu pilot çalışma ile bundan sonra daha yüksek veri kaynaklı çalışmalara ışık tutacağı inancındayız.
