Molecular detection of selected gene polymorphisms related to nutrition (nutrichip validation)
TURKOVÁ, Kateřina
Lactose intolerance is the most common food intolerance in the world. Individuals with lactose intolerance are unable to produce the enzyme lactase in the small intestine, which makes it possible to break down the lactose contained in dairy products. Insufficient lactase production may be genetically determined. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms responsible for the persistence of lactase activity in adulthood have been found in the European population. Celiac disease is one of the autoimmune diseases that mainly affects the mucous membrane of the small intestine. The disease is characterized by intolerance to gliadin, which is part of gluten. Intolerance leads to chronic inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa, leading to chronic diarrhea, fatty stools, vomiting and fatigue. The development of celiac disease is conditioned by the presence of a genetic predisposition. Genetic predisposition is linked to HLA system alleles. Specifically, these are the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 haplotypes.
