Does SelfDecode test MTHFR?
Yes, we do! MTHFR is a gene that provides instructions to make an enzyme (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) that plays a crucial role in the methylation cycle. The methylation cycle is a biochemical process involved in the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) to various molecules in the body. Methylation is a fundamental process that regulates a wide range of bodily functions, including DNA synthesis, detoxification, neurotransmitter production, and more.
