Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypolactasia and lactose intolerance are common conditions worldwide. Hypolactasia seems to be strongly correlated with genotype C/C of the genetic variant C-->T(-13910) upstream of the lactase phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene. We developed a rapid genotyping assay for LPH C-->T(-13910) and investigated the relationship of positive lactose breath hydrogen test (LBHT) results suggesting lactose...
