Know More About MTHFR Gene analysis - 2 exons (5 & 8) {Make product title intials capital and avoid this text in {} }
This at‑home MTHFR gene analysis (exons 5 & 8) detects key genetic variants that can affect folate metabolism and homocysteine regulation, providing genotype information that may influence nutritional and medication decisions. A simple cheek swab collected at home is analysed by clinical laboratories serving the UAE, and the report highlights relevant findings and practical considerations for folate supplementation, pregnancy planning and drugs impacted by methylation. Results are presented with clear interpretation and we recommend reviewing them with your UAE healthcare provider before making any changes to treatment or supplements.
Parameters Measured
- MTHFR — Exon 5: c.677C>T (p.Ala222Val / C677T)
- MTHFR — Exon 8: c.1298A>C (p.Glu429Ala / A1298C)
- Genotype/zygosity — homozygous, heterozygous, wild‑type
- Allele status — presence/absence of detected variants
When to Test it?
- Targets MTHFR variants in exons 5 and 8 that can impair folate conversion and raise homocysteine levels
- May inform personalized folate/methylfolate supplementation for pregnancy planning and reducing neural tube defect risk
- Supports medication decisions by identifying variants that can influence response or toxicity to folate‑interacting drugs (e.g., methotrexate)
- Convenient at‑home sample collection across the UAE with secure laboratory analysis and clinician‑ready reports
- Provides actionable genetic interpretation to assist clinicians in cardiovascular and metabolic risk management
