was sind tsh werte — can a DNA test help?

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is a key blood marker for assessing thyroid function. Normal values typically range from 0.4 to 4.0 mU/L, though reference intervals vary by lab. Elevated TSH suggests hypothyroidism, while low TSH indicates hyperthyroidism. A DNA test cannot measure TSH levels – that requires a blood draw. However, certain genetic variants (e.g., in PDE8B, CAPZB) are associated with small shifts in TSH within the normal range. The effects are modest and not clinically actionable for most people. MyBody-X does not offer a specific TSH DNA test; evidence for using DNA to guide thyroid management is weak. If you have abnormal TSH or symptoms, see a doctor for proper lab testing. A DNA test may provide supplementary insights but should never replace standard medical evaluation.
