Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of the LCT*-13910C>T polymorphism associated with a high expression of lactase in the small intestine during adulthood, and to infer the lactase persistence and adult-type hypolactasia phenotypes among Euro-Brazilians and Mennonites from South Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sequence-specific PCR method to genotype the LCT*-13910C>T polymorphism...
