Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The lactase persistence phenotype is controlled by a regulatory enhancer region upstream of the Lactase (LCT) gene. In northern Europe, specifically the -13910C > T variant has been associated with lactase persistence whereas other persistence variants, e.g. -13907C > G and -13915 T > G, have been identified in Africa and the Middle East. The aim of the present study was to compare a previously...
