What role does SHBG play in Allergie?

The provided knowledge contexts contain no specific information on the role of SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) in allergies. In general, SHBG regulates the bioavailability of sex hormones such as testosterone and estradiol, which can modulate immune responses. Some studies suggest an association between low SHBG levels and increased allergy risk, particularly for asthma and atopic dermatitis, but the evidence is heterogeneous and insufficient for clinical recommendations. MyBody-X tests rely on genetic markers, but without concrete SHBG data in the context, interpretability is limited. Caveat: Do not alter therapy or lifestyle based solely on a single biomarker or genetic test. Consult an allergist if allergy is suspected.
