CRP (C-reactive protein) is a blood biomarker for inflammation, measured via a standard lab test, not a DNA test. While certain genetic variants (e.g., in the CRP gene) are associated with modest differences in baseline CRP levels, these effects are small and not clinically actionable for diagnosing acute inflammation or chronic disease risk. A DNA test cannot replace a blood test for CRP. MyBody-X offers an inflammation test that measures hs-CRP in blood, but no DNA test for CRP. The evidence for consumer DNA tests claiming to predict inflammation or longevity is weak and largely marketing-based. If you want to know your CRP level, get a blood test from your doctor. DNA tests may provide curiosity-driven insights but lack clinical validation for this purpose. Always interpret CRP results in a medical context.
