About the test

The Apixmed Prism Allergies and Intolerances genetic test covers 28 markers across four areas of allergic predisposition and food intolerances, including 17 complex markers and 11 individual genetic variants in 9 genes.

What you get from the report

  • A DNA kit for collecting your saliva sample yourself is already included in the price of the test.

  • Genotyping of the sample in an accredited laboratory.

  • A report explaining 28 markers and genetic variants in plain language, with an interpretation of the results:

    • 17 polygenic (complex) traits with an explanation of your individual result and what it means;

    • 11 individual genetic variants with an explanation of their possible biological significance.

  • Context for every marker: genetics is not considered in isolation from lifestyle, age, environment and other factors.

  • Personalized recommendations on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, lifestyle and preventive approaches.

  • The option of a consultation with an Apixmed Prism specialist based on your report results.

  • Pointers to potentially relevant laboratory or clinical parameters that you can discuss with your doctor.

  • Data protection in line with ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA standards.

Description

The Allergies and Intolerances genetic test covers four areas, within which it analyzes 17 complex markers and 11 individual genetic variants in 9 genes: from general allergic predisposition to respiratory allergies, food intolerances and skin reactions. It assesses how your genetic profile and individual genetic variants are associated with a relatively higher or lower predisposition for each marker compared with a reference population. The test does not measure any marker directly — instead it examines the stable genetic context that complements allergological work-up and laboratory tests rather than replacing them.

How the sample is collected

DNA sample collection is done using saliva. You receive the kit by post and collect your own DNA sample into a special tube — it takes just a few minutes and requires no preparation. The sample is then sent for analysis to an accredited laboratory, and you receive your result in digital format.

What the genetic test covers

Complex markers (PRS method)

17 markers across four areas. Assessed using polygenic risk scores: tens and hundreds of variants together shape the contribution to a predisposition, and no single one of them determines the picture on its own.

  • General allergic predisposition and biomarkers: allergic sensitization, total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), food allergy, eosinophil count

  • Respiratory and inhalant allergies: allergic rhinitis, asthma, sensitization to animal allergens, cat allergy, dog allergy

  • Food intolerances and immune-mediated reactions: lactase persistence, fructose metabolism and absorption, celiac disease, peanut allergy, egg allergy

  • Skin and contact allergies: atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, angioedema

Individual genetic variants with mechanistic links

11 genetic variants in 9 genes. A mechanistic link to the trait is described for each, so they are interpreted individually and are not included in the complex markers.

  • IL13 and IL4R: associated with IgE levels and atopic dermatitis, three variants

  • TSLP: associated with asthma and allergic predisposition

  • FCER1A: the IgE receptor, associated with total IgE levels

  • MCM6: a gene whose variant regulates the activity of the lactase gene LCT, associated with lactase persistence

  • SERPINB: a gene cluster associated with food allergy

  • AOC1 and HNMT: histamine-metabolizing enzymes, associated with how quickly it is broken down, four variants

Who the Apixmed Prism Allergies and Intolerances DNA Test is for

  • Discomfort after certain foods: genetic context on lactose, fructose or histamine for a conversation with your doctor or dietitian.

  • Family history of allergic conditions: specific topics to discuss with an allergist.

  • Chronic respiratory symptoms: additional context for a conversation with your doctor, not a self-diagnosis.

  • When choosing supplements: a reason to discuss whether they are appropriate with your doctor, not grounds to change anything on your own.

The Allergies and Intolerances test is not a diagnosis and does not replace consultation with a doctor.

The results assess probability rather than establishing a predetermined outcome. They are not a diagnosis, do not confirm an allergy or intolerance and do not determine treatment. The test does not replace allergy skin testing, IgE testing or celiac serology. Clinical decisions are made by a specialist, taking into account your history, symptoms, diet, age, medication and laboratory data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact us arrow_outward
Does a genetic allergy test mean I definitely can't digest lactose or fructose?
No. The test shows a genetic predisposition, for example to lactase persistence, but actual tolerance of foods also depends on dose, the composition of the gut microbiome and coexisting gut conditions. The final conclusion is made by a doctor or dietitian, not by the genotype alone.
How is the sample collected?
You receive the DNA kit by post and collect saliva into a special tube yourself — the procedure takes a few minutes and requires no special preparation or clinic visit. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for genotyping, and you receive the result in digital format.
How does a genetic allergy test differ from allergy skin testing or IgE testing?
Allergy skin testing and IgE testing show the body's actual reaction here and now. A genetic test does not show that reaction: it describes statistical associations between DNA variants and markers established in population studies. Allergy skin testing and IgE testing show the state of your body right now; a DNA test shows individual features of how it functions and its predispositions, which can help you understand that state better if you read the results of both together rather than each on its own.
How do complex markers differ from individual polymorphisms?
These are two different levels of the report. Complex markers are calculated polygenically: tens and hundreds of variants contribute to a predisposition at once, and the assessment takes the contribution of each into account. Individual polymorphisms with mechanistic links are presented by name, with their own interpretation, and are not included in the complex markers. This is an additional layer for those who want to see specific variants, not grounds for drawing conclusions from any one of them.
Can the test help explain why I react to wine or aged cheese?
Variants in the AOC1 and HNMT genes are associated with the speed of histamine metabolism, and histamine is found in wine, aged cheeses and other fermented foods. This is genetic context, not a diagnosis of histamine intolerance: the final conclusion and dietary recommendations come from a doctor or dietitian.
How reliable is a genetic allergy test?

The reliability of a genetic allergy test has two components. The first is the technical accuracy of genotyping, ensured by the laboratory's accreditation within its official scope. The second is the strength of evidence behind the interpretation, and this is not the same for every marker: some associations have been confirmed in large studies, while others so far rest on preliminary data and may require confirmation. The report states the level of evidence for each marker separately.

Can a genetic allergy test diagnose an allergy or intolerance?
No, the test does not establish diagnoses and does not rule out conditions, including food allergy, celiac disease or asthma. If you have symptoms, see an allergist: only they can carry out diagnosis and treatment.
