MTHFR

Product catalog summary
Pathogenesis
  • MTHFR (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is crucial in folate and homocysteine metabolism.
  • The gene has polymorphisms at the 677 site, with genotypes CC, CT, and TT.
  • Located at position 1p36.3 on chromosome 1, the 677 polymorphism affects enzyme activity and homocysteine levels, leading to various health issues.
Introduction
  • The C677T mutation decreases folate conversion, affecting methionine to S-adenosylmethionine conversion, cell mitosis, and DNA synthesis.
  • Associated with neural tube defects, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, Down syndrome, and other birth defects.
  • Elevated homocysteine levels can lead to cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
Methodology
  • The assay kit uses PCR-fluorescence probing, offering high accuracy (>99.9%), speed, and contamination prevention.
  • Available in multiple specifications (24/48/96 samples per pack) and adaptable to various PCR devices.
Target Groups
  • Pregnant women, patients with hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, elderly dementia, depression, and Parkinson's disease.
Clinical Application
  • In maternal and child health, it guides folic acid supplementation to reduce birth defects.
  • In cardiovascular health, it aids in stroke risk prediction and personalized medication guidance.
  • Included in physical examination packages for disease prevention in business, middle-aged, and elderly individuals.
