Multigenerational Influences of the Fut2 Gene on the Dynamics of the Gut Microbiota in Mice

The FUT2 gene encodes an α-1,2-fucosyltransferase responsible for the expression of ABO histo-blood-group antigens on mucosal surfaces and bodily secretions. Individuals who carry at least one functional allele are known as “secretors,” whereas those homozygous for loss-of-function mutations are kno...
