MTHFR genetic testing (contact me if interested)

Genetic testing for MTHFR gene mutation C677T and MTHFR gene mutation A1298C. (EDTA).

This test requires a doctor's consent form. Don't have your own doctor? Then we recommend scheduling a brief appointment with Dr. Tigran so he can assess whether a DNA test is right for you. To do so, add this product(medical intake consultation) to your shopping cart.

Please note, this test is also included in the iGene study for a lower price!
Developments in DNA research are rapid, new techniques allow multiple genes to be analyzed for a lower price.

An abnormality of the MTHFR gene gives reduced function of this MTHFR enzyme. As a result, no or reduced bioactive folic acid can be formed. This can have major health consequences. 5-MTHF, the bioactive form of folic acid is necessary for the body to make its own bioactive vitamin B12, methylcobalamin.

This gene mutation affects:

• Methylation; the process in the body that produces antioxidants, processes toxins and produces dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, norepinephrine and adrenaline
• Quality of the immune system
• The ability to detoxify the body
• DNA construction and repair/regeneration capacity
• The ability to produce neurotransmitters
• The ability to make energy, ATP (muscle fuel)
• The ability to make biologically active vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, itself

For this test, you need to sign a consent form and send it with you to the laboratory. You will find this in the packet sent to you.

This study is also part of the iGene Passport.
For more information between a test between a clinical genetic test and a publicly available genetic test read this blog.

This is a test by a clinical geneticist rather than a public access test like this iGene test. Hence the price difference.
