Molecular genetics of human lactase deficiencies.

Annals of medicine - 1 Jan 2009

Järvelä Irma, Torniainen Suvi, Kolho Kaija-Leena

Abstract excerpt

Lactase non-persistence (adult-type hypolactasia) is present in more than half of the human population and is caused by the down-regulation of lactase enzyme activity during childhood. Congenital lactase deficiency (CLD) is a rare severe gastrointestinal disorder of new-borns enriched in the Finnish population. Both lactase deficiencies are autosomal recessive traits and characterized by diminished expression of...
