Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adult-type hypolactasia (lactase non-persistence) is a common cause of gastrointestinal symptoms. Several DNA sequence variants have been identified for the lactase-persistence/non-persistence (LP/LNP), the most common being the C to T residing -13910 bp upstream of the lactase gene (LCT). We have analysed sequence variants of LP/LNP in subjects originating from Northern Russia. METHODS: A total of...
