The T/G−13915 variant upstream of the lactase gene (LCT) is the founder allele of lactase persistence in an urban Saudi population

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of lactase persistence is high in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVE: To identify a DNA variant for the lactase persistence/non‐persistence trait in adult Arabs in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: We sequenced DNA from 432 anonymous neonatal blood donors from five different regions of Saudi Ar...
