▪ Abstract The enzyme lactase that is located in the villus enterocytes of the small intestine is
responsible for digestion of lactose in milk. Lactase activity is high and vital during infancy …

Lactose maldigestion has been under intensive research since its discovery in the 1960's.
We know the prevalence of lactose maldigestion in a great number of countries and ethnic …

Adult-type hypolactasia, also known as lactase non-persistence (lactose intolerance), is a
common autosomal recessive condition resulting from the physiological decline in activity of …

Finland, located at the edge of the inhabitable world, is one of the best-studied genetic
isolates. The characteristic features of population isolates—founder effect, genetic drift and …

Lactose intolerance primarily refers to a syndrome having different symptoms upon the
consumption of foods containing lactose. It is one of the most common form of food …

Genetic isolates, as shown empirically by the Finnish, Old Order Amish, Hutterites, Sardinian
and Jewish communities among others, represent a most important and powerful tool in …

Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions and play critical roles in human health and
disease. Enzyme variants and deficiencies can lead to variable expression of glycans, which …

Hypercalcemia is defined as a serum calcium concentration that is greater than two standard
deviations above the normal mean, which in children may vary with age and sex, reflecting …

Background/Aims: Adult-type hypolactasia (primary lactose malabsorption) affects most of
world's human population and limits the use of fresh milk due to lactose intolerance. The …
