What is lactase persistence?
Lactase persistence refers to the ability to produce lactase throughout life, allowing the continued digestion of lactose. In contrast, those with lactose intolerance produce little or no lactase after infancy, resulting in digestive problems when consuming dairy. People with lactase persistence can consume dairy products without experiencing lactose intolerance symptoms.
What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Undigested lactose in the large intestine can lead to a range of digestive symptoms, including:
- Bloating
- Flatulence
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain or cramps
- Gurgling sounds from the abdomen
The Genetics:
Genetic variations play a significant role in determining lactose intolerance and lactase persistence. This DNA test identifies five common variants in the MCM6 gene that are associated with either lactose intolerance (normal) or lactase persistence (variant):
- rs41525747, -13907C>G
- rs4988235, -13910C>T
- rs41380347, -13915T>G
- rs145946881, -14010G>C
- rs182549, -22018G>A

GOOD TO KNOW:
After purchasing a DNA test kit, you have up to 6 months to use your kit and send your samples back to the laboratory for testing. If the samples are not received and testing is not initiated within 6 months of the purchase date, your account will be inactivated.
A $50 reactivation fee will apply to reactivate your account once it has been inactivated. If you do not use your testing kit within one year from the purchase date, your account will be closed.
