Abstract

Introduction: the rs4988235(C) polymorphism is associated with lactose intolerance and exhibits heterogeneity among populations. In Europe, the T allele (lactose tolerance) is prevalent in the north, while the C allele (lactose intolerance) is common in Asia and Africa. Methods: genotypes for rs4988235 were obtained from the 1000 Genomes Project database, selecting Latin American samples (Colombians, Mexican Americans, Peruvians, and Puerto Ricans). A total of 446 ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) were used to estimate genetic ancestry proportions. Shapiro-Wilks tests were conducted, and due to non-normality, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Wilcoxon tests were applied. Results: the Shapiro-Wilks test indicated significant deviations from normality for Native-American (statistic=0.8787, p
