Fast and Easy Detection of MTHFR
Lamp Human Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase mutation kit (rs1801133)

Risk Factors of Genetic Thrombosis: 
An in vitro diagnostic test that allows the detection and genotyping of a single point mutation (C677T) of the human MTHFR gene, referred to as MTHFR mutation, directly from human whole blood.

MTHFR

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the synthesis of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Patients with severe MTHFR deficiency have hyperhomocysteinemia, hypomethioninemia, and a range of neurological and vascular findings with a variable age at onset*1.
