Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The mechanism of the developmental downregulation of the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene underlying adult-type hypolactasia is unknown. We have determined the functional significance of the recently identified two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C/T(-13910) and G/A(-22018), associated with adult-type hypolactasia by studying LPH mRNA levels in intestinal biopsy samples with...
