wo kann man einen allergietest machen — can a DNA test help?

Traditional allergy tests are performed by a doctor (dermatologist, pulmonologist, or allergist) using skin prick tests or blood tests for specific IgE antibodies. A DNA test like MyBody-X cannot diagnose allergies. It may report genetic variants linked to a slightly higher tendency for certain sensitivities (e.g., histamine or lactose intolerance), but these are not diagnostic. The evidence for such 'allergy SNPs' is weak or mixed; most are not clinically validated. Therefore, a DNA test cannot replace a medical allergy workup. If you suspect allergies, see a specialist. MyBody-X's current offerings, based on the provided context, do not include validated allergy markers. Results are for informational use only and not intended for medical decisions. Safety note: If you experience severe allergic reactions, seek emergency care immediately.
