Descrizione

Map of key single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lactase gene that regulate lactase persistence into adulthood. These genetic variants explain much of the population-level variation in the ability to digest lactose.

Schematic showing the enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose by lactase into galactose and glucose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. In lactase-sufficient individuals, this process occurs efficiently in the small intestinal brush border.
