A genetic variant in IL‐15Rα correlates with physical activity among European–American adults

Interleukin‐15 (IL‐15) is a myokine associated with muscle strength, possibly by attenuating protein breakdown. A variant in the alpha‐receptor (IL‐15Rα 1775 A>C, rs2228059) partially modulates the muscle strength and size response to resistance training. We examined if this polymorphism associated with habitual physical activity among European‐American adults.
