MTHFS
The MTHFS gene encodes methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, an enzyme involved in folate metabolism. It plays a vital role in maintaining the pool of active folate derivatives used for methylation, DNA synthesis, and neurotransmitter production. MTHFS regulates the conversion of various folate forms and helps keep the balance of one-carbon units essential for cellular function. Variants in this gene may disrupt folate recycling, potentially affecting methylation pathways and contributing to problems such as impaired detoxification, fatigue, or mood imbalance.
Description
MTHFS encodes an enzyme that helps regulate folate metabolism and supports methylation and nucleotide synthesis.
It ensures the proper recycling and balance of folate derivatives necessary for effective methylation and DNA replication.
They can cause inefficient folate utilization, resulting in elevated homocysteine levels, decreased detoxification capacity, or neurological symptoms.
They may be linked to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood disorders, or sensitivity to folic acid supplements.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
