What is the MTHFR Test?
The MTHFR test analyzes variants in the MTHFR gene which encodes the MTHFR enzyme that plays an important role in converting folate (vitamin B9) into its active form. These variants may lead to reduced MTHFR enzyme function which can impact the body’s ability to convert folate into its active form. Folate plays an important role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, fetal development and neurotransmitter regulation.
The myDNA MTHFR Report
The MTHFR report provides information on the MTHFR genetic variation and its potential impact on folate metabolism and homocysteine levels. The report categorizes the individual as having normal, mildly reduced or reduced folate metabolism.
