Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lactase nonpersistence (LNP) is characterized by the decrease in lactase expression in the small intestine. Studies have shown that -13910 C>T and -22018 G>A single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located upstream of the lactase gene are associated with an LNP/lactase persistence (LP) trait. OBJECTIVE: The current study evaluated the LP allelic frequency in 227 healthy Indian subjects consisting of...
