Lactose (milk sugar) intolerance is the result of a genetic defect in the enzyme lactase, which breaks it down, caused by mutations in the gene that synthesizes the enzyme (LCT).
The Synevo Laboratory offers an extended genetic test for lactose intolerance, which uses sequencing to examine polymorphisms of the LCT gene:
C-13907G
C-13913T
G-13914A
T-13915G
The study provides an assessment of the genetic risk of lactase enzyme deficiency or functional impairment and, consequently, sensitivity to milk sugar.
