Genetics and Epidemiology of Adult-type Hypolactasia

1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of adult-type hypolactasia varies from less than 5% to almost 100% between different populations of the world. The lowest prevalence has been found in northwestern Europe, around the North Sea, and the highest prevalence in the Far East. The reason for the variation is that selective (primary) hypolactasia is genetically determined by an autosomal recessive single gene. It is assumed that thousands...
