Overview
There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
OR
Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
OR
If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].
OR
The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].

There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].
Classification
- There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].
- Lactose intolerance may be classified according to its causes into 2 groups:
- Primary lactose malabsorption
- Secondary lactose malabsorption
- Primary lactose malabsorption may be classified into 3 subtypes include:
- Acquired primary lactase deficiency
- Congenital lactase deficiency
- Developmental lactase deficiency
Acquired primary lactase deficiency (adult-type hypolactasia, lactase nonpersistence)
- The most common cause of primary lactase malabsorbtion
- Autosomal recessive trait[1]
- Intestinal lactase levels is deceresed at preschool age in many populations especially in Asia and Africa
- Elevated lactase activity is maintained in Caucasians such as northern European
- Convergent evolution of lactase persistence is seen in some populations in Africa that domesticate cows and consume milks product into adulthood [2]
- Persistence of intestinal lactase until adulthood is inherited as autosomal-dominant characteristic[3]
Congenital lactase deficiency
- Rare autosomal recessive[4]
- Absence of lactase activity
- Characteristic findings:[5]
- Watery diarrhea
- Medullary nephrocalcinosis
- Hypercalcemia that will be ceased after one week lactose free diet
- More in Finnish population
Developmental lactase deficiency
- Low lactase levels in premature infants that born at 28 to 32 weeks of gestation[6]
- Clinical lactose intolerance is uncommon because colonic flora ferment lactose to hydrogen gas and short-chain fatty acids and then fatty acids are absorbed by the colon
- [Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on:
- [Classification method 1]
- [Classification method 2]
- [Classification method 3]
- [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on:
- [Classification method 1]
- [Classification method 2]
- [Classification method 3]

Overview
There are three major types of lactose intolerance.[1] They are primary lactose intolerance, secondary lactose intolerance and congenital lactase deficiency.
Classification
There are three major types of lactose intolerance:[1]
- Primary lactose intolerance: Environmentally induced by weaning in non dairy consuming societies. In most Asian and African cultures, mother's milk is the only commonly available milk and so milk consumption beyond infancy is not commonplace, therefore children become weaned, which is the same weaning process for all mammals (domesticated and wild). However societies such as the japanese where milk consumption has been on the increase, demonstrate that notwithstanding the genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance, they now present lower prevalence of lactose intolerance.[2] For any given individual the degree of weaning is probably genetically influenced.
- Secondary lactose intolerance: Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure to intestinal parasites such as giardia.[3][4] In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted.[5]
- Congenital lactase deficiency present at birth and diagnosed in early infancy.
