The Genetic Variation of Lactase Persistence Alleles in Sudan and South Sudan.

Genome biology and evolution - 7 May 2021

Hollfelder Nina, Babiker Hiba, Granehäll Lena, Schlebusch Carina M, Jakobsson Mattias

Abstract excerpt

Lactase persistence (LP) is a well-studied example of a Mendelian trait under selection in some human groups due to gene-culture coevolution. We investigated the frequencies of genetic variants linked to LP in Sudanese and South Sudanese populations. These populations have diverse subsistence patterns, and some are dependent on milk to various extents, not only from cows but also from other livestock such as...
