What is MTHFR (C677T) Mutation Analysis?

This test specifically analyzes the C677T mutation in the MTHFR gene. This particular genetic variation can impact your body's ability to convert folate into its active form, which is crucial for various metabolic processes, including detoxification and neurotransmitter production.

Why is this test important?

Identifying the C677T mutation helps healthcare providers assess potential risks for conditions associated with impaired folate metabolism, such as elevated homocysteine levels, and guide appropriate supplementation or lifestyle adjustments.

How to Prepare
