In the last decades there has been an increase in food allergies frequency for several reasons, including the change in the food industrial preparation.

Some people are more susceptible to food allergies than others, and this is partly due to genetics, which conditions the immune system working, and partly to other genetic and epigenetic mechanisms not yet fully known, which have an equally significant contribution.

The immune system keeps the body healthy by fighting infections and other dangers, but when it overreacts to a substance in a food, identifying it as a danger and triggering a protective response, an allergic reaction to food occurs.

In the case of enzymatic deficiency, another type of adverse reaction occurs, the intolerance, which, although less serious than food allergy, still involves the exclusion or reduction of the food involved intake.

Food allergy symptoms are more common in infants and children, but they can appeare at any age; you can even develop an allergy to foods you have eaten for years without any problems.

It's important to underline that genetic predisposition do not always manifest with a specific allergy towards a specific food, as it is possible that different individuals develop allergies or intolerances towards different foods despite having the same genetic variants.

Knowing your genetic predisposition helps you to understand unusual reactions and symptoms that you may have noticed with the intake of certain foods, to be discussed with your doctor and to avoid foods to which you appear to have a greater genetic susceptibility, avoiding allergies or intolerance development. 

The following traits are analyzed:

•genetic predisposition to general food sensitivities
•allergy to peanuts
•allergy to milk
•allergy to eggs 
•allergy to fish
•allergy to clams and crustaceans
•allergy to soy
•allergy to seeds
•allergy to nuts
•allergy to fruits and vegetables
•allergy to kiwi
•allergy to wheat
•allergy to corn
•allergy to amaranth
•allergy to tapioca
•allergy to quinoa
•genetic food map for over 290 foods
•gluten sensitivity
•lactose intolerance
•hystamine intolerance
•sulphites intolerance
 

Every year round million of people suffer from allergic symptoms, caused from indoor allergens, or rather allergens present in the home environment,

Although there are many indoor substances present in our home living environment, triggering allergy symptoms, the most common allergens that often cause these symptoms are dust mites, pet hair, cockroaches and molds.

Unlike seasonal allergies (such as hay fever), indoor allergies can persist forever if not properly diagnosed. 

Thanks to this report you can find out how your genetic can predispose you to these allergies or protect you from indoor allergies. 

The following traits are analyzed:

•allergy to mold
•allergy to pets
•allergy to cockroaches
•allergy to dust mites

Outdoor allergies are allergens present in the external environment.

The most common outdoor allergens source is pollen: tree pollen (common in spring), grass pollen (common in summer) and ragweed pollen (common in summer and autumn).

The following traits are analyzed:

•mug wort allergy
•grass allergy resistance 
•hay fever 
•birch pollen allergy
•hystamine intolerance 

Chemicals hypersensitivity can be triggered by several factors: toxic waste, ventilation systems, industrial emissions, molds, bacteria, pesticides, paints, plastics, dentures, hearing aids, even jewelry!

During several evolution years, the human body developed a sophisticated enzymatic system to eliminate external chemical agents. Variants in genes that code for key enzymes in this process can interfere with detoxification mechanisms, resulting in hypersensitivity. 

In this section you can explore which are your genetic predispositions for mercure hypersensitivity, benzene and PCB hypersensitivity and get useful information on how to manage them.

The following traits are analyzed:

•sensitivity to mercure
•sensitivity to benzene
•sensitivity to PCB

Find out if your genetics predispose you to suffer from hypersensitivity induced by different stimuli than those that cause allergies and intolerances to food, indoor or outdoor allergens or hypersensitivity to chemical agents. 

There are also, in fact, hypersensitivity to physical and environmental stimuli, strongly influenced by individual genetics.

The following traits are analyzed:

•resistance to stomach flu
•seasonality
•motion sickness
•misophonia
•noise-induced hearing loss
