The GNT. Lactose test evaluates genetic variants in the MCM6 gene, which regulates the expression of the lactase enzyme, responsible for lactose digestion. Decreased activity of this enzyme can cause reduced tolerance to dairy products.
Its objective is to identify the genetic predisposition to primary lactose intolerance, differentiating it from secondary or transient intolerances.
Performing this test requires a medical prescription. The requesting healthcare professional must ensure that the patient receives appropriate genetic information and counseling, as well as the correct clinical interpretation of the results.
- Study of the C13910T mutations of the MCM6 gene (lactase promoter).
- People with digestive discomfort after consuming milk or milk products (bloating, gas, diarrhea).
- Evaluation of digestive capacity in personalized nutrition programs.
- Patients seeking to confirm the genetic cause of their lactose intolerance.
