SUMMARY: LCT 13910 CC genotype is associated with lactose intolerance, a condition often resulting in reduced milk intake. Women with the CC genotype were found to have decreased serum calcium and reduced bone mineral density. INTRODUCTION: The CC genotype of the 13910 C/T polymorphism of the LCT gene is linked to lactose intolerance and low calcium intake. METHODS: We studied 595 postmenopausal women, including 267 osteoporotic, 200 osteopenic, and 128 healthy subjects. Genotyping, osteodensitometry, and laboratory measurements were carried out. RESULTS: Frequency of aversion to milk consumption was 20% for CC genotype and 10% for TT + TC genotypes (p = 0.03). The albumin-adjusted serum calcium was 2.325 +/- 0.09 mmol/L for CC genotype and 2.360 +/- 0.16 mmol/L for TT + TC genotypes (p = 0.031). Bone mineral density (BMD; Z score) was lower in the CC than TT + TC genotypes, respectively, at the radius (0.105 +/- 1.42 vs 0.406 +/- 1.32; p = 0.038), at the total hip (-0.471 +/- 1.08 vs -0.170 +/- 1.09; p = 0.041), and at the Ward's triangle (-0.334 +/- 0.87 vs -0.123 +/- 0.82; p = 0.044). CONCLUSION: LCT 13910 C/T polymorphism is associated with decreased serum calcium level and lower BMD in postmenopausal women.
