Lactose Intolerance (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Testing for lactose intolerance may be available as part of a whole genome scan.
Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.
