Common mistakes around Cortisol Genetik

Common mistakes around cortisol genetic testing: overestimating the predictive power of single SNPs, ignoring environmental and lifestyle factors, and assuming genetic predisposition directly causes high cortisol. Most associated variants have small effect sizes (<2% variance). Clinical utility is limited; many tests are marketed without strong evidence. Caveat: cortisol levels are highly variable; a genetic test does not replace clinical assessment.
