While underlying evolutionary explanations have been widely posited and studied, the molecular basis of LP remains less so. This review considers the genetic and epigenetic bases of LP. Multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in an LCT enhancer in intron 13 of the neighbouring MCM6 gene are associated with LP. These SNPs alter binding of transcription factors (TFs) and likely prevent age-related increases in methylation in the enhancer, maintaining LCT expression into adulthood to cause LP. However, the complex relationship between the genetics and epigenetics of LP is not fully characterised, and the mode of action of methylation quantitative trait loci (meQTLs) (SNPs affecting methylation) generally remains poorly understood. Here, we examine published LP data to propose a model describing how methylation in the LCT enhancer is prevented in LP adults. We argue that this occurs through altered binding of the TF Oct-1 (encoded by the gene POU2F1) and neighbouring TFs GATA-6 (GATA6), HNF-3A (FOXA1) and c-Ets1 (ETS1) acting in concert. We therefore suggest a plausible new model for LCT downregulation in the context of LP, with wider relevance for future work on the mechanisms of other meQTLs.</p>","PeriodicalId":8085,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142016176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
