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.

Unlike other market tests that evaluate only the presence of the genotype -13910 c/c in the regulation regulation of the gene for lactase (LCT), the Genechron test also assesses the presence of the variant -22018 g/g that completes the Genetic picture of an individual and defines if it is predisposed to develop primary lactose intolerance during one’s life.
