Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In adulthood the activity of the lactase enzyme is inherited as autosomal dominant form associated to Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The present research was aimed to develop a novel genetic method to test lactase non persistence more powerfully. METHODS AND RESULTS: In our study, we selected eight different SNPs that are associated with lactase persistence from Caucasian, Arabian Bedouins,...
