A Pilot Study on the Correlation Between Psychometric Traits and ADRA2A rs1800544 Polymorphism in Fencing Athletes

The results obtained in our study reveal genotype distributions in line with the literature on <i>ADRA2A</i> rs1800544 gene region. Since fencing is a sport that requires attention and concentration, the distribution of gene regions associated with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder is important. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of genotype distributions in fencing athletes; however, given the study's limitations, such as the small sample size, lack of psychological assessment methods, and absence of noradrenaline level measurement, further research is needed before these findings can be considered for the development of personalized training programs based on <i>ADRA2A</i> rs1800544 polymorphism.
