Inside the report

What you get, in reading order

Real pages from an example report made with a sample DNA file. Yours follows the same order, with your own results.

  1. The science behind it, if you want it

    The full biology of atopic dermatitis, mast cell activation, histamine metabolism, and the immune pathways involved, for when you or your practitioner want to understand the mechanisms behind your recommendations.

    Chapters in this report

    1. Mast Cells
    2. Mast Cells, Histamine And Methylation

    As titled in the example report.

  2. Your Recommendations Summary

    A ranked, prioritized list of nutrients, foods, and lifestyle factors scored by the combined strength of your genetic signal. The practical starting point, covering everything from dietary histamine load to specific mast cell stabilizers to barrier repair.

    • Your Focus list. Foods, nutrients and habits to lean into, with the highest priority at the top. An Avoid list follows.
    • The number in brackets is the item's score. Scores are a priority scale. The more of your genes that point to an item, the higher it ranks. They show you where to start, not a guarantee of results.
    • Food sits in the same list. A low histamine diet ranks alongside the supplements, so you can start with what you eat.
    • Supplements name the exact form, here pyridoxal 5'-phosphate for vitamin B6, because the form affects how well your body can use it.

    Talk to your doctor before you start a supplement.

    Called “Recommendations Summary” in the reportThe top of a Focus list, with four lettered notes. Your scores will differ. From an example report made with a sample DNA file.
  3. Where your genes disagree

    Where genes pull in different directions on the same intervention, both scores are shown instead of hiding the tension.

    1. Two scores for one item. The Focus score weighs the variants that point toward it, and the Avoid score weighs the ones that point away.
    2. The higher score shows which way it leans. More of your genes point that way, and the other score still counts.
    3. What the scores can't tell you. They show genetic tendencies, not how your body is responding today. When the two are close, the report suggests talking that item through with your practitioner before acting on it.
    Both scores, shown Part of the Conflicts list in an example report, each item with a Focus score and an Avoid score.
    Called “Conflicts” in the report

    In this example, Folinic acid/Calcium Folinate scores 290 for Focus and 70 for Avoid. It ranks higher on the Focus side, and the Avoid score still counts.

    Items that appear in both lists, with both scores side by side. From an example report made with a sample DNA file.
  4. One page for each gene

    Plain-English explanations of every gene, your specific variants, and the targeted changes tied to each one.

    One page per gene The IL-4R gene page in an example report: a table of variants with the letters read from the file and a status mark for each.

The genes it reads

This report analyzes 69 genes across these areas.

  • Skin barrier integrity
  • Mast cell reactivity and IgE signaling
  • Histamine production and clearance
  • Th2 and inflammatory cytokine balance
  • Methylation and immune foundations
  • Vitamin D and immune modulation
  • Dietary and metabolic genetics
See every area and gene
  • Skin barrier integrity. The genetic foundation of your skin's physical defense against allergens and irritants, and the nutritional inputs for barrier repair and maintenance (FLG).
  • Mast cell reactivity and IgE signaling. How easily your mast cells trigger and how strongly they respond to IgE binding, the core mechanism in both atopic dermatitis and mast cell activation syndrome (FCER1A, KIT, TSLP, TGFB1).
  • Histamine production and clearance. How efficiently your body produces and breaks down histamine in the gut and inside cells, and which clearance pathway is most likely to be your bottleneck (HDC, AOC1/DAO, HNMT, ALDH2, FMO3).
  • Th2 and inflammatory cytokine balance. How your immune system regulates the Th2 response that drives atopic inflammation, and the dietary and botanical inputs with the strongest evidence for modulating it (TSLP, TGFB1, COMT).
  • Methylation and immune foundations. The biochemical backbone of histamine clearance, immune regulation, and skin cell turnover. Shortfalls here amplify reactivity across every other pathway (MTHFR, MTHFS, MTHFD1, COMT, AHCY, CBS, BHMT, PEMT, MTR, MTRR, SLC19A1).
  • Vitamin D and immune modulation. How efficiently your body activates and uses vitamin D, which plays a direct role in regulating the immune responses involved in atopic dermatitis and mast cell function (VDR, GC, CYP2R1, BCO1).
  • Dietary and metabolic genetics. How your body processes fat, particularly the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio that has the most direct impact on inflammation in skin and immune tissue (FADS1, FADS2, PPARG, PPARA, PPARGC1B, APOE4, ADIPOQ, LEPR, CETP, LIPC).
Is it right for you

Who it's for, and what it doesn't do

Who it's for

This report is for anyone living with chronic skin reactivity, unexplained allergic symptoms, histamine sensitivity, or suspected mast cell overactivation who wants to understand the genetic layer driving it. It is equally valuable for practitioners working with complex, multi-system immune presentations who want a genetic roadmap before designing a protocol.

It is particularly relevant if elimination diets and antihistamines have given you partial or inconsistent relief, if your symptoms span several systems such as skin, gut, and nervous system, or if you have always felt that your immune system is unusually reactive without a clear explanation.

The science, briefly

Why the same protocol helps one person and not another

If elimination diets and antihistamines have only ever half worked, the missing piece may be which of your immune pathways is under the most strain.

  1. FLG and the skin barrier

    FLG makes filaggrin, a protein in the skin barrier. Variants can leave that barrier more vulnerable to moisture loss and incoming irritants.

    In your reportYour FLG result helps the report decide how much priority to give barrier support.

    Read the full explanation

    FLG makes filaggrin, the protein that holds the skin's outer layer together and keeps allergens, bacteria, and irritants out. FLG variants are the single strongest genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis, leaving microscopic gaps that let triggers in and moisture out. For carriers, barrier repair comes first, and borage oil, omega-6 fatty acids, and specific probiotic strains have the strongest evidence. Your FLG status tells you whether barrier support should be your foundation or a secondary concern.

  2. FCER1A and IgE-driven mast cell reactions

    FCER1A makes the IgE receptor on mast cells. Variants associated with higher IgE can make this reaction pathway more relevant.

    In your reportThe report uses your genotype to weigh mast cell and histamine support alongside skin-barrier support.

    Read the full explanation

    FCER1A encodes the high-affinity IgE receptor on mast cells. When IgE binds to it, the cell releases histamine, prostaglandins, and cytokines. Variants are associated with higher IgE and a hair-trigger mast cell response. For carriers, quercetin and vitamin C are the most evidence-backed mast cell stabilizers, phosphatidylcholine and activated charcoal have evidence for calming gut mast cells when IgE is confirmed high, and a low-histamine diet also applies. Your genotype tells you how hard to lean on this layer.

  3. HNMT, DAO and histamine clearance

    DAO clears histamine in the gut; HNMT clears it inside cells. Variants can slow either route, and HNMT also depends on the methylation cycle.

    In your reportThe report maps both pathways to show which clearance bottleneck deserves more attention.

    Read the full explanation

    Histamine intolerance is usually less about how much histamine you eat than about the balance between how much comes in and how fast you clear it. DAO (AOC1) clears histamine in the gut and HNMT clears it inside cells. Variants in either let histamine from food, immune activation, and mast cells build up faster than it is broken down. HNMT runs on SAMe from the methylation cycle, so impaired methylation makes histamine intolerance worse. The report maps both pathways and tells you which is your main bottleneck.

Those are three of the mechanisms. The report covers 69 genes across seven pathways.

More on the science behind this report

Atopic dermatitis affects roughly one in five people at some point in their lives. For many, it is a lifelong cycle of flares, partial remission, and renewed sensitivity with no clear trigger. The same is true for people living with mast cell overactivation: a broad, shifting set of symptoms spanning skin, gut, nervous system, and cardiovascular function that can take years to identify and longer to manage.

These conditions are hard to pin down because they are the end result of several biological systems: skin barrier integrity, IgE receptor sensitivity, histamine production and clearance, cytokine signaling, and the methylation cycle that underpins immune function. Each of these varies from person to person based on genetics. When you know which system is most under strain in your biology, you have a far more precise target than any generic protocol can give you.

This report maps the genetics of your skin and immune reactivity from the surface barrier down to the cellular level, and gives you a ranked, evidence-based protocol for each layer.

Before you buy

Questions, answered

Can't find yours? Email info@noorns.com.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once for this report, and there's nothing to renew or cancel.

Will it work with my DNA file?

Raw data files from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage and SelfDecode work today. Tested somewhere else? Email info@noorns.com and we'll tell you whether your file works.

What if I don't have a DNA file yet?

You need raw data from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or another DNA service. We do not sell kits, so order a test from one of them first, then download your raw data file from their site.

Can I do it on my phone?

For now, generating your report works best on a computer. Once it's ready, you can read the PDF on any device.

What if my file doesn't work, or a run doesn't finish?

Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. If something else goes wrong, email info@noorns.com and we'll do our best to make it right.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. You can get a refund within 14 days of purchase if you haven't accessed or started generating your report. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. Email info@noorns.com.

Will my report update when new research comes out?

Yes, when we update the report. Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If we add new research while you still have a run left, run it again and you get the new version.

Do I need to be an expert to use it?

No. Most people read the Recommendations Summary, change a few things starting with food, and give it time. The gene pages and Science Deep Dive are there for when you want to go deeper, or when you are working through the results with a practitioner.

Is this report useful if I have not been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis or MCAS?

Yes. Many people with variants in these pathways have milder symptoms: some histamine sensitivity, reactive skin, seasonal allergies, or fatigue after certain foods. The report is useful for anyone who suspects their immune system is running hotter than it should, even without a formal diagnosis.

How is this different from a standard allergy test?

Allergy tests identify the specific allergens your immune system is reacting to now. This report looks at why your immune system is reactive in the first place: the genes that affect your mast cell threshold, histamine clearance, skin barrier, and inflammatory balance. The two work together.

Can I use this alongside my current treatment?

Yes, and that is how it is intended. The report is designed to inform conversations with your dermatologist, allergist, or integrative practitioner. Always discuss supplement or dietary changes with your healthcare provider, particularly if you are taking antihistamines, corticosteroids, or biologics.
