Table 1.
Milk group (MG) distribution and FucT (FT#) activity for all regions of Vietnam and the total sample population in %. Milk group 1 is separated into 1a and 1b based on Fuc(α1–2) and Fuc(α1–3/4) ratio as described (19), milk groups 3 and 4 are separated into subgroups based on the presence (a) and absence (b) of Fuc(α1–3)- epitopes.
