Overview

It is thought that lactose intolerance is the result of lactose malabsorption that it is caused by low level of small intestinal lactase. Lactose is metabolized by intestinal lactase to galactose and glucose in villous enterocytes. In colon, unabsorbed lactose is converted to hydrogen gas and short chain fatty acids such as acetate, butyrate and propionate by intestinal bacteria and creates symtoms of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern. Acquired primary lactase deficiency is associated with a CC genotype at -13.9 kb upstream of the lactase gene

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Genetics

  • Lactose intolerance is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern.[5]
  • Persistence of intestinal lactase until adulthood is inherited as an autosomal dominant characteristic[6]
  • Gene involved in the pathogenesis of lactose intolerance include polymorphism of the MCM6 ( minichromosome maintenance complex component 6) gene located upstream from the gene lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) on the long arm (q) of chromosome 2 in region 21(2q21). Lactase persistence is strongly related with presence of the T allele of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP ) located at -13.9 kb upstream of the lactase gene. This allele regulates lactase mRNA.[7][8]
  • Acquired primary lactase deficiency is associated with a CC genotype at -13.9 kb and lactase persistence is related to TT genotype[9]

Gross Pathology

  • On gross pathology, there are no characteristic findings of lactose intolerance.

Microscopic Pathology

  • On microscopic histopathological analysis, there are no characteristic findings of lactose intolerance.
