Recessive inheritance of the adult type of intestinal lactase deficiency
American Journal of Human Genetics
|September 1, 1975
Abstract:
In order to investigate the genetic control of the adult type of intestinal lactase deficiency, 61 families with 177 children over 6 years of age were investigated. The results strongly suggest that this deficiency is inherited as a simple Mendelian recessive trait.
