Brief communication: Effect of nomadic subsistence practices on lactase persistence associated genetic variation in Kuwait.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Sept 2013

Hill Sarah Catherine, Mohammad Talal Ramadan, Kivisild Toomas

Abstract excerpt

Lactase persistence (LP)-the ability to digest lactose in adulthood-is paradigmatic of Holocenic dietary change affecting the evolutionary trajectory of specific populations. Kuwait represents one location of high LP where the variation in associated genomic regions has not been examined. Here, we present new sequence data from a 427 bp amplicon 14 kb upstream of the LCT (lactase) gene for two Bedouin tribal...
