Evolution of Lactase Persistence
Though humans are known to lose lactase ability post-weaning, some people maintain lactase production into adulthood, a condition known as lactase persistence. Global distribution patterns of lactase persistency are inconsistent; the condition is much more prevalent in some populations than others. Using results across independent studies, the existence of such a phenomenon can be attributed to...

متن کاملFrequency of LCT -13910C>T single nucleotide polymorphism associated with adult-type hypolactasia/lactase persistence among Brazilians of different ethnic groups
BACKGROUND Adult-type hypolactasia, the physiological decline of lactase some time after weaning, was previously associated with the LCT -13910C>T polymorphism worldwide except in Africa. Lactase non-persistence is the most common phenotype in humans, except in northwestern Europe with its long history of pastoralism and milking. We had previously shown association of LCT -13910C>T polymorphism...

The UK boasts a culturally diverse population with ethnic minorities accounting for 14% of the population in the 2011 census. [1]This represented an increase in the percentage of ethnic members of the population which was around 9% in 2001 and 6% in 1991. Caution is needed when making direct comparisons between censuses as there have been changes in questions and tick boxes which encourage the ...
