Abstract excerpt

Uruguay has one of the highest per capita milk intakes worldwide, even with a limited supply of lactose-free products; furthermore, the admixed nature of its population is well known, and various frequencies of lactase persistence (LP) are observed in the source populations. We aimed to contribute to the understanding of the relation between allelic variants associated with LP, milk consumption, digestive...
