Description:
A genetic lactose intolerance test is a simple way to see if you have a genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance. It analyses your DNA to check for variations in a specific gene (LCT) that influences your body's ability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products.
Gene List:
Lactase gene (LCT) - this is responsible for producing lactase which is an enzyme that your body uses to digest lactase. Sometimes there are mutations to this gene which can be the cause of a genetic lactose intolerance.
C13910T: This variation is like a missing comma in the instructions. It can significantly hinder lactase production, potentially leading to lactose intolerance.
G22018A: This variation is less disruptive. It might be like a minor misspelling that doesn't significantly impact how the instructions are understood. The team can still build enough lactase for most people.
People with two copies of the C1390T mutation are most likely to have a lactose intolerance.
