Common mistakes around Mikrobiom Genetik

Common mistakes around microbiome genetics include: 1) Overinterpreting single genetic variants – most microbiome-associated SNPs have small effect sizes and are not diagnostic. 2) Assuming a home test replaces clinical diagnosis – microbiome tests are exploratory, not conclusive. 3) Ignoring lifestyle and diet – these influence the microbiome far more than genetics. 4) Confusing correlation with causation – many associations are observational, not experimentally validated. 5) Believing in personalized supplements based on one SNP – randomized trials are lacking. Evidence for direct genetic prediction of microbiome composition is weak to moderate. Consumers should treat tests as inspiration, not diagnosis, and consult a doctor for health concerns.
