Abstract excerpt

Milk consumption is prevalent in daily diets of Tibetans. To digest the milk sugar lactose, lactase persistence (LP) should be required. However, little is known about the genetic basis of LP in Tibetans. We screened 495 Tibetan individuals for five previously reported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): -13907C/G (rs41525747), -13910C/T (rs4988235), -13915T/G (rs41380347), -14010G/C and -22018G/A (rs182549),...
