- Sample report
Methylation
- MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase)
- COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase)
These genes affect how homocysteine and methionine are metabolized to support formation of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). The ability to donate methyl groups affects neurologic function and is modifiable by proper B-vitamin intake.
Detoxification
- GSTM (glutathione-s-transferase, M, isoforum)
- GSTP (glutathione-s-transferase, P, isoforum)
These genes are responsible for detoxifying products of oxidative stress and carcinogens. Variants decrease detoxification capacity.
Oxidative Protection
- SOD-2 (Superoxide dismutase -2)
These genetic variants alter anti-oxidant enzyme activity and modify requirements for anti-oxidants.
Adults over the age of 18
Buccal–Swab
The buccal swab is designed to collect some loose cells in your mouth. Brush your teeth the night before the test. Do not eat any food after you have brushed your teeth. Upon awakening for the day of collection, do not brush your teeth, eat or drink anything prior to the sample collection.
