Genetic Migraine Test (DAO): Detects Genetic Histamine Intolerance

96,00 €
Acude a un centro para la toma de muestra

Do you suffer from recurrent migraines or digestive disorders and suspect they may have a hereditary origin? This genetic test analyses the AOC1 gene to determine whether you have a genetic predisposition that affects your ability to metabolise histamine found in food.

¿Where is it done?

We explain how it works — it’s very simple:
1.- Buy your test online: once the payment is completed, you will receive a confirmation email and an invoice in your email inbox.
2.- Visit your nearest center: with your email and/or invoice (you can show it on your phone), come to any of our Laboratorio Echevarne centers. No appointment is required.
3.- Professional sample collection: our specialized staff will take the sample quickly and safely.

Descripción

Histamine sensitivity caused by DAO deficiency may lead to symptoms such as migraines, abdominal pain, rhinitis or sensitivity to certain medications. Unlike IgG food sensitivity tests, this condition requires a specific genetic analysis of the AOC1 gene.

¿Is it suitable for me?

This test is for you if:
•You have a family history of migraines, headaches or intolerance to histamine-rich foods.
•You want to confirm whether a previously detected DAO deficiency has a genetic origin.
•You experience chronic symptoms after consuming wine, aged cheeses, cured meats or preserved foods.

Sample type: Blood

How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions

What symptoms does DAO deficiency cause?

Migraines, digestive discomfort, skin problems, fatigue, rhinitis, or sleep disturbances, among others.

Does the test confirm the diagnosis of DAO deficiency?

No. The test detects genetic predisposition. For a complete diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and sometimes other tests must be evaluated.

What is DAO deficiency and how does it affect health?

DAO deficiency is a reduced activity of the Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down histamine in the intestine. When this enzyme does not function properly, histamine accumulates and may cause migraines, abdominal pain, rhinitis, urticaria or tachycardia after consuming histamine-rich foods such as wine, aged cheeses, cured meats or preserved foods.

What is the difference between the DAO genetic test and a DAO activity blood test?

The DAO genetic test analyses the AOC1 gene to determine whether the deficiency is hereditary (permanent). A DAO activity blood test measures the enzyme level in the blood at a specific point in time, although this value may vary depending on intestinal health. Both tests are complementary.

Which foods should I avoid if I have DAO deficiency?

Foods richest in histamine include red wine, beer, aged cheeses, cured meats, canned fish, tomatoes, spinach and chocolate. Following a low-histamine diet, under the supervision of a nutritionist, is the first step in reducing symptoms while addressing the underlying cause of the deficiency.

Customer Reviews

I had been suffering from migraines and digestive problems for years without knowing why. The test confirmed my genetic predisposition to DAO deficiency.

It helped me focus the treatment on other possible causes.
