“…The genetic test to analyze the single nucleotide C/T -13910 polymorphism located upstream of the lactase gene offers a simple, non-invasive, and more comfortable exam [5][6][7][8][9]; furthermore, it is shorter than the lactose tolerance test and does not induce lactose intolerance symptoms, such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.…”

“…Samples showing a single band of 201 bp were classified as the CC genotype or a single band of 177 bp as the TT genotype; two bands of 201 bp and 177 bp represented the CT genotype. The CC genotype was previously associated with hypolactasia, and the CT and TT genotypes with normolactasia [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…BT, however, has limitations related to preparation with restricted diet, fasting, a 2-to 3-hour period for sample collection, and reproduction of uncomfortable symptoms that must be considered especially in children (2). In addition, its sensitivity and specificity vary between 69% and 100% and 89% and 100%, respectively, compared with determination of LCT activity in intestinal biopsies and false positive and negative results have been reported (10,15,17,18).…”

“…Os indivíduos com o genótipo CC apresentaram sintomas de intolerância à lactose, e aqueles com os genótipos CT e TT toleraram a lactose 14 , confirmando os achados publicados em 1973 por Sahi et al de que a intolerância à lactose primária do adulto é traço recessivo. 15 Estudos posteriores no Brasil 16,17,18 e em outros países [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] confirmaram a associação desse polimorfismo com a intolerância e tolerância à lactose, exceto na África. 27,28 Essa região LCT-13910C>T funcionou in vitro como elemento cis capaz de aumentar diferentemente a atividade de transcrição do promotor do gene da lactase 29 e se associou significantemente com maior expressão de RNAm do gene LCT na mucosa intestinal dos indivíduos com alelo de persistência da lactase, LCT-13910C>T e LCT-22018G>A, em relação aos que têm genótipo de hipolactasia, sugerindo que a ação seja em nível de regulação de transcrição do gene LCT 30 .…”
