By examining key genetic markers and how they interact with lifestyle factors, this report empowers practitioners to develop truly individualized health plans and interventions.
Key Genetic Markers Analyzed
The report analyzes genes crucial to methylation processes, including MTHFR, PEMT, MTR, CBS, COMT, and AHCY. These markers are linked to various aspects of health and disease susceptibility. For example, variants in the MTHFR gene can affect folate metabolism, potentially leading to increased homocysteine levels (a risk factor for heart disease), neural tube defects, and other health issues. PEMT variations can influence choline metabolism, which is essential for brain development, liver function, and muscle movement. Similarly, MTR variants can affect vitamin B12 metabolism and homocysteine levels, while CBS variations can influence homocysteine levels and sulfur metabolism, potentially impacting cardiovascular health and liver function. COMT variations can affect neurotransmitter balance, potentially influencing mood, stress response, and cognitive function. Finally, AHCY variations can affect methylation reactions, potentially influencing DNA repair, gene expression, and overall cellular function.
Interpreting the Report: A Roadmap to Personalized Care
The myDNA Methylation Report equips practitioners with valuable insights to tailor health plans based on an individual’s genetic profile. This includes dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplement recommendations. Furthermore, the report enables practitioners to implement preventive measures.
Report Highlights: A Wealth of Information
The report offers a detailed analysis of key methylation genes and their associated micronutrient needs, providing guidance on specific micronutrients vital for optimal methylation processes. Key areas covered include methylation genes like MTHFR, PEMT, TCN2, MTR, MTRR, CBS, COMT, and AHCY, and micronutrients such as B2, B6, Folate, B12, Zinc, Choline, Betaine, Magnesium, and Lithium.
Empowering Patients with Personalized Care
The myDNA Methylation Report is an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to provide truly personalized and proactive care. By understanding an individual’s genetic blueprint and its interaction with lifestyle factors, practitioners can unlock valuable insights and empower their patients to take control of their health.
