Adult-type hypolactasia and regulation of lactase expression.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 25 May 2005

Troelsen Jesper T

Abstract excerpt

A common genetically determined polymorphism in the human population leads to two distinct phenotypes in adults, lactase persistence and adult-type hypolactasia (lactase non-persistence). All healthy newborn children express high levels of lactase and are able to digest large quantities of lactose, the main carbohydrate in milk. Individuals with adult-type hypolactasia lose their lactase expression before...
