Methylation Genomics
by Genova Diagnostics
The Methylation Genomics panel is an innovative assessment designed to offer insight into the methylation pathway, also known as 1-carbon metabolism. By investigating genetic predispositions for altered enzymatic activity, this profile can help clinicians design more targeted treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
Understanding your genetic variations is crucial because disruptions in methylation can lead to a cascade of cellular dysfunction. By learning about your methylation process and and potential genetic predispositions, you can take steps to support this fundamental aspect of your cellular machinery.
This test is not available for patients under 2 years old.
