Genetic layerYour starting conditions
A curated panel of 525 variants, each selected because a diet or behaviour change can move the trait it touches.
Heidelberg · Personalised prevention
Genes, blood values and daily life, read together.
GeneTechX combines selected genetic markers, blood biomarkers and your lifestyle into one profile you can return to, measure again and act on.
In development · Pilot in preparation
Your DNA hardly changes. Your blood values and your habits do. A useful profile follows both.
Three layers, one profile
What GeneTechX brings together
Each layer answers a different question. Read on their own they are fragments; read together and over time they become something you can act on.
Genetic layer
Biomarker layerWhere you stand today
Blood values such as vitamin D, ferritin, lipids or HbA1c show the current state, and every new measurement is kept beside the last.
Lifestyle layerWhat you do every day
Food, caffeine, alcohol, movement and sleep give the context without which neither genes nor blood values can be read fairly.
Evidence first
How we select markers →
Every marker has to earn its place.
We screened the public genome-wide literature before choosing a single variant. A marker is only reported when the evidence is replicated, the effect is measurable and you can do something about it.
192,997variants screened in our evidence database
421kpublished genome-wide associations

What we will not tell you
The claims we leave out are part of the product.
Much of this market sells markers that failed to replicate. We publish what we refuse to claim, and why.
- No overall health scoreA single number that blends genes and blood values would read as a grade of your health. We never build one.
- No disease risk predictionsMonogenic and diagnostic findings belong with a physician. Variants of that kind are never returned as lifestyle advice.
- No personality genetics"Warrior or worrier" (COMT), 5-HTTLPR and "reward deficiency" claims rest on candidate-gene studies that did not hold up.
- No APOE reportingIts lipid effect cannot be shown without disclosing dementia risk, so the locus is excluded from the pipeline.
Our rule
Every score describes our evidence or your own measurements, never your health.GeneTechX scoring system, version 1
A note from the founders
Why we are building GeneTechX.
People are handed genetic reports, laboratory printouts and generic advice, each on its own and rarely revisited. We have spent our careers in molecular genetics and cancer biology, and we know how much the quality of an interpretation depends on the evidence behind it.
GeneTechX is our answer: a small set of markers that survived scrutiny, blood values you can measure again, and recommendations that say exactly what they rest on. Built in Heidelberg, with the same care we would want for our own families.
