Association of the European lactase persistence variant (LCT-13910 C>T polymorphism) with obesity in the Canary Islands.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Almon Ricardo, Álvarez-León Eva Elisa, Serra-Majem Lluís

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: European lactose tolerance genotype (LCT -13910 C>T, rs4988234) has been positively associated to body mass indexes (BMI) in a meta-analysis of 31,720 individuals of northern and central European descent. A strong association of lactase persistence (LP) with BMI and obesity has also b...
