Genetic test to identify variations in the MTHFR gene.

Additional Information

MTHFR is an enzyme that helps convert folate into usable forms to regulate homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels are linked to health issues. MTHFR also plays a role in SAM production, crucial for various biological processes, including neurotransmitter production. Genetic variations in MTHFR can alter enzyme activity, impacting folate and homocysteine levels. Testing identifies these variations, allowing for personalized strategies to optimize these levels, potentially including dietary changes, supplementation, or medication.

Biomarkers Tested (1)

Homocysteine (µmol/L)
