MethylDetox Profile (Buccal Swab)
Cell Science Systems
Sample type: Buccal swab
Requires fasting: No
At home test
Details
The MethylDetox Profile detects variants in genes involved in the methyl detoxification pathway and homocysteine metabolism. Genetic variations in this pathway can lead to a variety of chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders.
- COMT
- MTHFR
- AHCY
- MTRR
- MTR
Estimated days for results: Results should arrive 10 business days after the lab receives samples.
The MethylDetox Profile gives more actionable information than MTHFR testing alone, giving you a more complete picture of methylation and detoxification. The MethylDetox profile includes suggestions for specific nutrient needs to address with practitioner guidance. Standard MTHFR genotyping only evaluates folic acid metabolism. Scientific research reveals that a variety of genes are involved in maintaining methionine/homocysteine balance. Genetic variations (SNPs) in these important genes influence your methylation potential. Individual methylation is monitored using homocysteine levels. Important SNPs are included to evaluate your ability to methylate neurotransmitters, DNA, and toxins.
