Genome-Wide Association Study on Muscle Stiffness Identified Novel Locus for Predisposition to Muscle Strain Injury
A novel locus associated with passive muscle stiffness and muscle strain injury was identified. Elucidating the detailed mechanisms linking the identified locus to passive muscle stiffness may lead to the development of new strategies to prevent muscle strain injuries.
