MTHFR Gene Homocystinuria Genetic Test
Cost: AED 4400.0
Overview
The MTHFR gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. This enzyme plays a role in the metabolism of folate, a B-vitamin that is important for various bodily functions, including the synthesis of DNA and the metabolism of amino acids.
Mutations in the MTHFR gene can lead to reduced enzyme activity, resulting in elevated levels of homocysteine, an amino acid. Homocystinuria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood and urine.

Pre Test Information
A Genetic Counselling session is recommended to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the MTHFR Gene Homocystinuria NGS Genetic DNA Test gene MTHFR.
Method
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a method used to analyze the DNA sequence of an individual’s genes. In the case of MTHFR gene homocystinuria testing, NGS can identify mutations or variations in the MTHFR gene that may be associated with homocystinuria.
Benefits of Testing
By detecting specific genetic changes in the MTHFR gene, NGS testing can help diagnose homocystinuria and provide information about the severity and potential complications of the condition. This information can guide treatment decisions and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.
