MTHFR Test (Common C677T & A1298C Mutations)
SKU:MTHF
Genetic variations in the MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene can impact how your body processes folate and homocysteine, influencing cardiovascular health, fertility, mood, and energy levels. This test screens for the two most common MTHFR mutations, C677T and A1298C, helping to identify potential risks linked to methylation problems.
Why the MTHFR Test Matters?
MTHFR mutations can affect nutrient metabolism and increase susceptibility to health conditions. Detecting them enables proactive steps, such as dietary adjustments or supplementation, to support long-term well-being.
What Gets Assessed?
- MTHFR C677T mutation status
- MTHFR A1298C mutation status

FAQs
What does this test measure?
This test analyses your DNA to check for two common MTHFR gene mutations, C677T and A1298C, which can affect folate metabolism.
Who should consider this test?
It is recommended for individuals with unexplained fatigue, fertility challenges, recurrent miscarriages, a family history of cardiovascular disease, or persistently high homocysteine levels.
Is this a blood or saliva test?
The MTHFR test can be carried out using either a simple blood sample or a cheek swab (saliva), depending on the laboratory.
What are the health implications of MTHFR mutations?
These mutations may impact how your body processes folate and homocysteine, potentially influencing cardiovascular health, mood balance, and pregnancy outcomes.
Can lifestyle changes help if I have a mutation?
Yes. Nutritional support with methylated B vitamins (B6, B12, folate), a balanced diet, and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce associated health risks.
