Thrombotest – MTHFR A1298C

Product detailed description

The MTHFR A1298C genetic test detects an inherited variant in the MTHFR gene, which plays an important role in folate (vitamin B9) metabolism and the processing of homocysteine in the body. Homocysteine is an amino acid whose elevated levels may be associated with various health factors.

The MTHFR A1298C test identifies a genetic variant that may affect the activity of the MTHFR enzyme. The results provide information about genetic factors involved in folate and homocysteine metabolism.

The MTHFR A1298C variant alone is not considered a proven risk factor for thrombosis, and its presence does not automatically indicate an increased tendency to develop blood clots. This test does not replace standard thrombophilia testing.

What does the test detect?

• The presence of the MTHFR A1298C genetic variant.

• Whether the variant is present in one or both copies of the gene.

• Genetic information related to folate and homocysteine metabolism.

Genetic test results should be interpreted alongside other laboratory findings and the individual's medical history.
