was kostet ein gen test — which blood markers matter?

The cost of a genetic test varies widely: single SNP tests (e.g., for lactose intolerance) often cost 30–80 €, comprehensive panels (e.g., nutrigenetics, sports genetics) range from 150 to 500 €, and whole genome sequencing can exceed 1000 €. The question about which blood markers matter is crucial because a genetic test alone provides only risk profiles – the actual metabolic state is revealed in blood. Important markers include: hs‑CRP (inflammation), fasting insulin and HOMA‑IR (insulin resistance), vitamin D, ferritin (iron status), cortisol (stress axis), and lipids (LDL, HDL, triglycerides). For athletes, CK and lactate are also relevant. Caveat: Many genetic tests for 'food intolerances' or 'skin aging' have weak evidence (GWAS, mechanistic) and may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions. A physician should interpret results in the full clinical context. MyBody‑X tests offer initial orientation but do not replace clinical diagnostics.
