## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the genetic adaptation of lactase persistence in humans, focusing on the role of CDX2 expression, intestinal differentiation, and its implications for milk consumption, lactose intolerance, evolutionary genetics, and associated health conditions such as colon cancer, gastric metaplasia, and bone health. |
