Lactase persistence, NOD2 status and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection associations to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Table 2 The distribution of LP/LNP genotypes and allele frequencies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC) and in controls (HC) [ n (%)]

¹Lactase non-persistent genotype (LNP); ²Lactase persistent genotype (LP) *No significant differences were detected comparing LNP and LP genotypes between UC patients and CD patients (P = 0.409), CD patients and controls (P = 0.506) or IBD with controls (P = 0.255). Nearly significant differences comparing UC patients and controls (P = 0.154). Significant differences were detected when comparing TT genotype, ^aIBD and controls (P = 0.013) and ^bUC patients compared to controls (P = 0.0075). Nearly significant difference when comparing CD patients and controls (P = 0.1005).
