MTHFR

MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase): MTHFR is an enzyme that plays a key role in folate metabolism and the regulation of homocysteine levels. It converts 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, facilitating the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine — a precursor to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the body’s main methyl donor. Variants in the MTHFR gene, such as C677T and A1298C, can influence enzyme activity, potentially disrupting folate metabolism, increasing homocysteine levels, and affecting methylation-dependent processes like DNA methylation and neurotransmitter synthesis.

The DNA Methylation Test from GetTested provides a comprehensive analysis of your body's methylation capabilities by exploring key genes such as MTHFR, COMT, BHMT, and several others. We also offer a DNA Methylation + AHCY test that, in addition to this test, also analyzes AHCY. By analyzing these genes, the test offers insights into how your body manages crucial biological processes like gene expression, DNA repair, and detoxification. Methylation plays a vital role in many of the body's functions and can influence everything from energy production to mental well-being. This test is ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of their health at a molecular level and wishing to tailor their diet, lifestyle, and potential supplements based on personal genetic predispositions.
