Keep in mind
These are the results of calculations comparing your genetic sequence to sequence of participants in studies published in the world literature.
Regardless of the outcome of the deCODEme Genetic Scan, if you have the described signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance, you should talk to your doctor since the symptoms could be due to other genetic variants or an indication of another illness.
