Abstract excerpt
(1) Background: Lactose digestion depends on persistence genotypes (including rs4988235), the frequency of which exhibits broad geographical variability. However, little is known about the relationship between lactase (LCT) genotypes and intestinal expression of LCT. We aimed to investigate ileal expression of LCT depending on main genetic polymorphisms (rs4988235, rs3754689, rs3739022), age, sex, smoking status,...
