Genetic DNA Test & Report

Genetic testing at NutraNourish goes far beyond ancestry reports or single-gene screens. Dr Menka Gupta's genetic analysis focuses on clinically actionable variants — single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) — in pathways directly relevant to health optimisation, disease prevention, and personalised medicine.

The test covers methylation pathway genes including MTHFR (C677T and A1298C), MTRR, and COMT, which influence folate metabolism, B vitamin requirements, homocysteine regulation, and neurotransmitter production. MTHFR variants in particular affect a significant proportion of the Asian population and have implications for cardiovascular risk, mood disorders, and fertility that standard clinical care routinely fails to address.

Detoxification capacity is assessed via CYP450 enzyme variants that determine how efficiently the liver processes environmental toxins, medications, and hormones — directly relevant to cancer risk and oestrogen metabolism. Variants in genes governing inflammation regulation (IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP), antioxidant defence (SOD2, GSTP1, CAT), and vitamin D metabolism (VDR, GC) are also assessed, as are cardiovascular risk variants (APOE, PCSK9, FTO).
