Genetic testing for lactose intolerance

The test analyzes the possible presence of polymorphisms (very frequent DNA variants without a pathogenetic effect) which are the cause of lactose intolerance. The genetic test is performed only once in life, through a simple blood sampling. It is not invasive and it is the only way to ascertain a primary -type lactose intolerance.

the Genechron test evaluates the presence of the -13910 C/C genotype in the regulatory region of the Lactase gene (LCT), defining whether an individual is predisposed to developing primary lactose intolerance during his or her life.

Who can benefit from it?

The symptoms of lactose intolerance affect the functioning of the digestive system. Therefore it is indicated in subjects who have the following disorders: abdominal cramps, diarrhea, abdominal swelling, flutory, nausea and asthenia as well as family members of subjects with ascertained primary intolerance.

How is it executed?

All you need to do is book an appointment to take a simple blood sample or a buccal swab at our laboratory. Samples and swabs can be carried out, by appointment, from 9.30am to 4.30pm and there is no need to fast.

The test can be carried out on a self-collected swab which can be carried out externally to the facility (it is possible to request the material to perform the buccal swab from Genechron).
The external sample delivered must be accompanied by a specific form for samples taken externally.

The report will be delivered after 10 working days from the sample acceptance.
