TIKKI knowledge answer
MyBody-X does not offer diagnostic genetic tests for cancer. Their DNA tests are lifestyle-oriented and not approved for medical diagnosis. In Germany, the Genetic Diagnostics Act (GenDG) strictly regulates direct-to-consumer testing: only physicians may perform genetic testing for medical purposes. A real cancer genetic test (e.g., BRCA1/2) is ordered by a specialist when there is a family history or elevated risk. Costs vary widely: with medical indication, health insurance often covers it (approx. €100–500 per gene). Without indication, private costs can range from €500–2000. When to see a doctor? If you have a family history of cancer (e.g., breast, ovarian, colorectal), multiple affected relatives, early onset, or known mutations. Also for unexplained symptoms or preventive concerns, consult your GP or a human geneticist. MyBody-X tests are not a substitute for medical evaluation. Evidence is practice- and legal-based.
