Popis:	Aim. The aim of this study was evaluation of the genetic aspects of lactase persistence (LP) in persons from different ethnic groups. Methods. Genealogical and medical information was collected about Ukrainian, Indian, Nigerian, Israel, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Jordan students (n=361) and their first degree relatives (n=413). Statistical analysis was carried out by Shapiro-Wilk test, χ2, Spearman correlation. Results. The phenotype of LP was found in 69.9 % of Ukrainians, lactose intolerance - in 7.2 %. The highest LP is observed in 95.2 % of Nigerians, the lowest - Palestinians, 51.9 %. Analysis in all ethnic groups showed that the number of LP people is less among parents than among students (r = - 0.529, p
