Genotyping was performed on the iScan System (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocols. The quality control and imputation of rs4988235 have been described previously [7 (link)]. The LCT rs4988235 is a well-established genetic marker for non-fermented milk intake [7 (link)]. The rs4988235 genotype was categorized as CC (lactase deficiency), CT (lactase persistence), and TT (lactase persistence). Among 20,993 participants available for gene-outcome analysis, the minor allele frequency and the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium P value for the rs4988235 were 0.21 and 0.53, respectively.
