The influence of Scandinavian presence on Greenlandic lactase persistence.

Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology - 1 Apr 2023

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The study aims to estimate the prevalence of lactase non-persistence (LNP) among Greenlandic Inuit and Scandinavians living in Nuuk and East Greenland. The C to T transition in LCT - 13910 (rs4988235) is an autosomal inherited variant that provides the ability to lifelong lactase production, necessary to digest milk. The transition is very common in North European populations. However, LNP has only...
