| 1 | Lactase non-persistence and milk consumption in Estonia显示文摘AIM: To defi ne the frequency of the C/T-13910 variant associated with lactase persistence/non-persistence trait and to analyze the milk consumption of lactase non- persistent subjects in Estonia. METHODS: We genotyped 355 Estonians by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. Milk consumption was analyzed by a questionnaire, specially developed to analyze milk consumption and abdominal complaints. RESULTS: The frequency of the genotype of the C/ C-13910 (lactase non-persistence) was found to be 24.8% in native Estonians. No other single nucleotide polymorphisms covering the region of 400 bp adjacent to the C/T-13910 variant were found. Lactase non- persistence subjects were found to consume less milk than lactase persistence subjects. CONCLUSION: The frequency of lactase non- persistence defi ned by the C/C-13910 genotype confi rms the results of the previous studies based on indirect methods of determining hypolactasia. Milk consumption of lactase non-persistence subjects is consistent with previously reported figures of adult-type hypolactasia in Estonia. However, lactase non-persistence does not prevent the intake of milk in many adults. | Margus Lember Suvi Torniainen Mart Kull Riina Kallikorm Peeter Saadla Tarvo Rajasalu Hanna Komu Irma Jrvel | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006，12，45： | 1 |
