Abstract excerpt

Expression of lactase in the intestine persists into adult life in some people and not others, and this is due to a cis-acting regulatory polymorphism. Previous data indicated that a mutation leading to lactase persistence had occurred on the background of a 60 kb 11-site LCT haplotype known as A...
