Questions people ask about CRP Alltag

A CRP gene variant (e.g., in the CRP gene) can be associated with slightly higher baseline CRP levels, but it does not mean you have chronic inflammation. CRP is an acute-phase protein that rises during infection, tissue damage, or chronic disease. Genetic variants explain only a small fraction of CRP variance; lifestyle, diet, smoking, and underlying inflammation have much larger effects. Directly inferring chronic inflammation from a consumer DNA test is not scientifically supported. For a reliable assessment, a doctor should measure your actual hs-CRP level in blood and interpret it in clinical context. MyBody-X tests are not validated for such medical claims. Caveat: Do not self-diagnose or change treatment based on genetic results alone.
