About this test
Discover if you are at increased risk of lactose intolerance with genetic testing for key genetic mutations.
Make healthier, informed choices based on your genetic blueprint.
Lactose intolerance is a common digestive issue that can cause bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and stomach pain after eating dairy. The most common type is inherited, so if lactose intolerance runs in your family, it's a good idea to get tested. While there's no cure, cutting down on lactose usually helps manage symptoms. Our convenient genetic lactose intolerance test checks for two variants (C13910T and G22018A) in the MCM6 gene that affect how well your body produces lactase-the enzyme needed to digest lactose.
- DNA analysis from a simple blood sample
- Identify if you carry the C13910T and G22018A genetic risk markers
- Results within 7 days from receipt of sample at lab
