Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Several studies reported associations of the lactase gene (LCT) polymorphism -13910C>T (rs4988235) with obesity-related variables and obesity in adults. This study aimed to replicate previously reported associations in a population sample of Portuguese young adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We genotyped 447 subjects from central and northern regions of Portugal (mean age 20.81±4.24 years) for the...
