LabCorp Test #: 511238, CPT: 81291

This test looks for changes in the MTHFR gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme that processes folate (a B vitamin). These changes can affect how your body processes folate and may influence your risk for certain health conditions. This test helps determine if you have these specific gene variations.

Why To Buy

This MTHFR test checks for genetic variations that can affect how your body processes folate, potentially contributing to various health issues.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Blood clots: Certain MTHFR variations can increase homocysteine levels, which is a risk factor for blood clots.
  • Developmental delays: Understanding MTHFR status may help investigate potential links to developmental issues related to folate metabolism.
  • Genetic predisposition: This test identifies specific genetic variations in the MTHFR gene, revealing your predisposition to related health conditions.
  • Heart disease: High homocysteine levels, sometimes linked to MTHFR variations, are a known risk factor for heart disease.
  • High homocysteine: The MTHFR gene plays a role in processing homocysteine, and variations can lead to elevated levels.
  • Migraines: Some studies suggest a possible link between certain MTHFR variations and an increased risk of migraines.
