Sucrase-isomaltase (SI) is an intestinal enzyme critical for the digestion of dietary carbohydrates, particularly sucrose and starch. Previous studies from the Gastrointestinal Genetics team at CIC ...
New research has found that people with a genetic defect in their ability to digest sucrose eat less cake, sweets and chocolate, which could hold the key to helping the wider population to eat less ...
Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by mutations in the gene that encodes the sucrase-isomaltase enzyme complex. This complex is essential ...
