wie hoch darf der crp wert sein — can a DNA test help?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a non-specific marker of inflammation. Normal levels are below 5 mg/L; for cardiovascular risk assessment using high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), values <1 mg/L indicate low risk, 1–3 mg/L moderate risk, and >3 mg/L high risk. Persistently elevated CRP warrants medical evaluation. Can a DNA test help? No. CRP is primarily influenced by lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, stress, sleep) and acute inflammation. The few genetic variants associated with CRP (e.g., in the CRP gene) have small effect sizes and are typically not included in consumer DNA panels. Evidence for DNA-based guidance on inflammation is weak and often marketing-driven. A blood test for CRP is useful; a DNA test is not. MyBody-X offers a blood test for CRP but no DNA panel that predicts CRP. Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
