When do I get a genetic allergy testing ?
“If I already have allergy tests, why do I need a DNA test?” Here are key reasons:
- Complex or unclear cases: When standard skin prick or IgE tests don’t explain symptoms (e.g. unexplained rashes, food reactions despite negative tests).
- Multiple sensitivities: If you have many suspected allergens and you want to stratify which ones are more likely genetically.
- Drug allergy risk: Some gene variants affect how your immune system or metabolism reacts to medications — especially useful before prescribing or switching drugs.
- Pre-emptive prevention: For children or family members with strong allergic histories, genetic insight helps guide early avoidance or monitoring.
- Precision planning: Knowing your genetic profile helps with personalized diet, immunotherapy selection, and long-term immune modulation.
In effect, a DNA allergy test is a supplementary tool — it refines your risk picture and helps guide which further tests or avoidance strategies to prioritize.
