Lactose intolerance
(Genetic testing T13910C, genetic testing for lactose intolerance)
Material: | 2 ml EDTA-blood (mucosal swab in small children) and declaration of consent |
Methods: | Amplifikationsverfahren → PCR und Sequenzierung |
Indication | Bowel problems, flatulence, diarrhea, intolerance toward milk products, suspicion of malabsorption, exclusion of lactose intolerance in case of Crohn’s disease etc.; in case of children with abdominal problems, familial predisposition (also osteoporosis) |
Please note | This is a genetic detection of lactate polymorphism. In Germany, the CC- or CT polymorphisms, which are accompanied by increased predisposition for lactose intolerance, can be seen in approximately 15 % – 25 % of the normal population. Having these variants does not necessarily lead to functional lactose intolerance. The severity of the problems is varied. Typically, an intolerance toward milk products leads to diffuse bowel problems, flatulence, and diarrhea.
