The process of methylation is responsible for both the breaking down and the building up of many compounds and enzymes that impact the very core of our bodies. Sound important? The MTHFR gene is responsible for creating methylfolate, a compound that helps make neurotransmitters in the brain. Neur...
It has been found that the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene is associated with major depressive disorder, and the aim of the current study was to examine the possible association between perceived stress and MTHFR methylation, taking into account depressive symptoms as a covariate....
we may be more genetically predisposed to certain metabolic conditions or disease states, but that does not mean there are not things we can do to alter this gene expression.The idea that our genes react to environmental and internal stimuli is referred to as epigenetics...
Upload your DNA and explore a range of gene reports featuring your MTHFR gene, COMT gene, VDR gene, and many others. Discover how your methylation can influence various aspects of your life. No DNA Kit Included. See what’s included: Methylation Genes Report MTHFR gene COMT gene VDR gene ...
Assessing methylation gene function, like MTHFR, is a great idea for anyone concerned about healthy aging. Variations in genes may mean a variety of health concerns, as studies have shown: Increased homocysteine levels, a biomarker for inflammation, which can result in cognitive decline, heart dise...

A significant association between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and p16 and MGMT gene promoter methylation was found. The frequency of p16 and MGMT methylation was around 60% in patients with either the CT/AC or TT/AA genotype. Our results suggest that hypermethylation of cancer-related genes may be ...
1. Do a lab test to see if you really have methylation (or other) defect. The MTHFR gene helps make methylfolate which is the main driver of the methylation cycle. This is an important gene to test for first! The two most common gene snps for MTHFR are C677T and A1298C. You may...
In this study, we investigated the methylation status of the H19 gene in semen DNA samples from infertile males affected by MTHFR gene promoter hypermethylation. DNA from normal and abnormal semen samples harbouring MTHFR gene promoter hypermethylated, hmMTHFR-nor and hmMTHFR-abn, and without ...
Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in theMTHFRgene, 677C>T (rs1801133) and 1298A>C (rs1801131), result in reduced MTHFR function in vitro, particularly in the homozygous recessive state [5,6,7,8]. These variants are common in the population; globally, the variant allele frequencies...
