NeuroGenomic™ Buccal Swab Profile - Genova Test Kit - NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
This test evaluates single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that modulate methylation, glutathione conjugation, oxidative protection, and the potential to evaluate vascular oxidation.
Description
This test uncovers potential genetic susceptibility to:
- Detoxification Capacity
- Neurodegenerative Disorders
- Oxidative Stress
- Developmental Issues
- Mood Disorders
Methylation
- MTHFR
- COMT
These genes influence how homocysteine and methionine are metabolized to support the formation of SAMe. The ability to donate methyl groups affects neurologic function and is modifiable by proper B-vitamin intake.
Detoxification
- GSTM
- GSTP
These genes are responsible for detoxifying products of oxidative stress and carcinogens. Variants decrease detoxification capacity.
Oxidative Protection
- SOD-2
These genetic variants alter anti-oxidant enzyme activity and modify requirements for anti-oxidants.
