Genetic Studies on Myeloperoxidase Deficiency in Italy
Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2004 Hereditary myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency is the most common neutrophil biochemical defect characterized by the lack of peroxidase activity. In order to extend the epidemiological studies on hereditary MPO deficiency in Italy, approximately 40,000 individuals were analyzed and 7 partial and 8 total MPO deficient subjects were identified.

Genetics of lactase deficiency in Russia
Problems of NutritionThe ability to digest lactose in adulthood is caused by a genetic mutation that emerged following the domestication of cattle approximately 10 000 years ago. However, many adults retain primary lactase deficiency - the ancestral phenotype characterized by a decline in lactase enzyme activity after weaning.

Primary Lactase Deficiency: Genetic or Acquired?
Gastroenterology, 1970 From a critical review of the literature, it would appear that, in animals, intestinal lactase is an adaptive enzyme, with adaptation occurring in 5–8 weeks. In man, short-term attempts at adaptation have not been successful, although a fall in lactase activity or lactose absorption has been found after substrate withdrawal in some subjects.
