In the absence of proper digestion of lactose, this sugar ferments in the intestine causing a series of disorders, such as colics, cramps, bloating or diarrhea. Lactose intolerance is a very common disease in adults and very widespread in Italy and Europe (about 50-70% of the Italian population is characterized by genetic lactose intolerance). A correct diagnosis is therefore essential to improve our health and prevent annoying symptoms.<\/p><p>The MC Biotech <strong>lactase test<\/strong> allows to define the patient&#8217;s genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance, enabling the correction of his\/her eating behavior. In particular, the genetic test allows to identify whether the patient has the T\/T, T\/C, or C\/C genotype. The <strong>homozygous <\/strong>variant <strong>(C\/C genotype)<\/strong>, associated to a lower transcription of the gene and therefore to a reduced expression of the lactase enzyme, is correlated with lactose intolerance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e20f89a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e20f89a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"768\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tavola-disegno-1ENG-def-768x410.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tavola-disegno-1ENG-def-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tavola-disegno-1ENG-def-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tavola-disegno-1ENG-def-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tavola-disegno-1ENG-def.png 1144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-caf0af6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"caf0af6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-164b929\" data-id=\"164b929\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-101b986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"101b986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The lactase test is thus addressed to subjects with <strong>symptoms<\/strong> and\/or <strong>familiarity.\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>In particular:<\/p><ul><li>People with symptoms such as bloating, meteorism, headache, abdominal pain\/spasms, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, rash<\/li><li>Individuals with family cases of lactose intolerance or who suspect they are lactose intolerant<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>The MC Biotech test is fast and totally non-invasive.\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>The genetic test is performed on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcbiotech.it\/en\/poc-device\/\"><strong> a portable device<\/strong><\/a>, using the cells of the oral mucosa, by means of a buccal swab.
