How are NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test and allergy related?

The NutriCare | INFINITY DNA-Test is marketed as a comprehensive nutrigenetics test that claims to link genetic variants to various health areas, including allergies. However, the provided context contains no direct evidence for such a connection. The included SNPs (rs713598 for bitter taste, SLC6A4 for serotonin transport) and notes on bloating/SIBO/lactose relate more to digestion and neurobiology than to classical allergies. It is crucial to emphasize: a DNA test cannot replace an allergy diagnosis. True allergies are confirmed by IgE antibodies and clinical provocation tests. Claims that the test is 'allergy-related' often rely on indirect associations (e.g., histamine degradation genes like DAO, lactose tolerance). Without specific, validated allergy SNPs in the test panel, its utility for allergy sufferers remains questionable. The evidence is therefore rated as 'mixed': there are mechanistic considerations, but no robust clinical validation for allergy prediction from this test.
