DNA Lactose Intolerance Test in Moscow
Lactose is a carbohydrate also known as milk sugar. For the proper digestion of dairy products, the body must break down lactose into simpler components — glucose and galactose. This breakdown occurs in the gastrointestinal tract under the action of the enzyme lactase. If there is insufficient lactase, lactose metabolism is impaired, leading to its accumulation. This causes stomach and intestinal disturbances, diarrhea, bloating, nausea, and a general deterioration of well-being.

Lactose malabsorption (lactase deficiency) is often caused by genetic predispositions. A mutation in the gene responsible for lactase production leads to disruptions in the lactose metabolism process. This condition can be inherited by a child, causing lactase deficiency in infants.
According to statistics, about 30% of the population in our country suffers from lactose intolerance. Many people are unaware of this and attribute their symptoms to poor digestion or spoiled food. A DNA test for lactose intolerance can help determine with certainty whether you have this condition.

How to do a DNA test for lactose intolerance
The sample collection process for a DNA test on lactose metabolism is completely painless and takes about 4-6 minutes. Usually, the DNA sample used for this genetic test is a cheek swab taken with a cotton swab (collection of buccal epithelial cells). Commonly known as a “saliva test” (standard DNA sample).
If, for some reason, it is not possible to obtain the standard sample, other types of samples, called non-standard samples, can be collected: blood, cigarette butts, hair, any biological stains and fluids, nails, eating utensils, etc. See the detailed list of DNA samples with descriptions.
