Description

The Methylation Panel is an innovative test designed to offer insight into the critical biochemical methylation pathway. Methylation metabolites are measured in plasma, and genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are analyzed via buccal swabs.

Patient results are synthesized on a front-page Interpretation-at-a-Glance (IAAG) graphic for quick methylation status assessment. Within the report, results are shown in a methylation pathway graphic to provide a clear understanding of the biochemistry involved.

Methylation plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation, influencing gene expression patterns that are implicated in autoimmune disorders. Dysregulation of methylation pathways can exacerbate immune dysfunction and contribute to autoimmune pathology.

Methylation status influences immune cell function and cytokine production, which are central to the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. Addressing methylation imbalances can help modulate immune responses and mitigate autoimmune-related inflammation.

You can see a sample report here.

The product includes a functional test, analysis and interpretation of your results.

You can also book a 45-minute virtual health consultation to go through your results here, which includes a health assessment and plan.

Test requirements: The Methylation Panel requires a blood draw.

You should receive your test kit within three working days of your order.
