Geno Mag Summary
(G;G) 2.5 Lactase persistence
(G;T) 1.5 carrier of the lactase persistence allele also known as "-13915*G", common in Arab populations
(T;T) 0 common in complete genomics

"in Arabia, -13,915*G frequency conforms to a partial clinal pattern and that this specific mutation has likely been spread from Arabia to Africa only recently from the sixth century AD onward by nomadic Arabs (Bedouins) looking for new pastures. Arabic populations in Africa that still maintain a nomadic way of life also have more -13,915*G variants"
