MTHFR Test
GetTested’s MTHFR Test analyses key genetic variants in the MTHFR gene (C677T and A1298C) using a simple at-home cheek swab. This DNA test provides insight into genetic factors related to methylation, a process involved in nutrient processing and neurotransmitter production. Results are delivered digitally within 7 days.

About MTHFR Test
Overview of the MTHFR Test
The MTHFR Test analyses genetic variants in the MTHFR gene, specifically C677T and A1298C. These variants can influence how efficiently the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase functions in the body.
This enzyme plays a role in methylation, a biochemical process involved in functions such as folate metabolism and the conversion of homocysteine. Variations in the MTHFR gene may affect how these processes occur.
As this is a DNA-based test, the results reflect genetic traits that do not change over time.

What is the difference between C677T and A1298C?
Do I need to stop taking supplements before the test?
No. Because this is a genetic DNA test, your results will not change based on recent food or supplement intake. Unlike a blood test that measures current circulating folate levels, your DNA remains constant throughout your life.
What do 'homozygous' and 'heterozygous' mean?
Homozygous means you inherited the same variant from both parents (two copies), which typically results in a more significant reduction in enzyme activity. Heterozygous means you inherited the variant from only one parent (one copy), usually resulting in a milder impact on enzyme function.
