MethylationIQ
The MethylationIQ Report offers a comprehensive analysis of an individual's genetic predisposition to disorders associated with methylation and micronutrient profile. By examining key genetic markers and their interactions with lifestyle factors, this report empowers healthcare practitioners to develop personalized health plans and interventions.
Our report delves into approximately 18 genes, including MTHFR, PEMT, MTR, CBS, COMT, and AHCY. These markers are linked to various aspects of health and disease susceptibility, such as:
- MTHFR: Variants in MTHFR can affect folate metabolism, potentially leading to increased homocysteine levels (a risk factor for heart disease), neural tube defects, and other health issues.
- PEMT : Variations can influence choline metabolism, which is essential for brain development, liver function, and muscle movement.
- MTR : Variants can affect vitamin B12 metabolism and homocysteine levels.
- CBS: Variations can influence homocysteine levels and sulfur metabolism, potentially affecting cardiovascular health and liver function.
- COMT : Variations can affect neurotransmitter balance, potentially influencing mood, stress response, and cognitive function.
- AHCY : Variations can affect methylation reactions, potentially influencing DNA repair, gene expression, and overall cellular function.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that enables the rapid analysis of genetic material by sequencing millions of DNA fragments simultaneously. Unlike traditional Sanger sequencing, NGS provides faster, more accurate, and cost-effective sequencing of entire genomes, exomes, or targeted regions of DNA.
This test is run using a cheek swab DNA sample.
