Issue Date: | 2012 | Journal: | PLoS ONE | Abstract: | European lactose tolerance genotype (LCT -13910 C.T, rs4988234) has been positively associated to body mass indexes (BMI) in a meta-analysis of 31,720 individuals of northern and central European descent. A strong association of lactase persistence (LP) with BMI and obesity has also been traced in a Spanish Mediterranean population. The aim of this study was to analyze a potential association of LP compared to lactase non-persistence (LNP) with BMI in inhabitants of the Canary Islands of Spain using Mendelian randomization | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/21074 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0043978 | Source: | PLOS One [eISSN 1932-6203], v. 7(8): e43978 | Rights: | by-nc-nd |
