Considerations — Provider Ready
| Consideration | Gene / Genotype | Evidence | Recommendation | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Folate form | MTHFR ( rs0067701 CT) | Strong | Reduced activity — discuss active 5-MTHF vs. folic acid with clinician. | PubMed ↗ |
| Homocysteine | MTHFR / MTR | Moderate | Consider baseline homocysteine testing to contextualize findings. | PubMed ↗ |
| B12 status | MTRR ( rs0067901 AG) | Limited | Monitor B12 if supplementing folate; combined support may be relevant. | dbSNP ↗ |
Per-Gene Findings
Filter:
MTHFR — Reduced Activity
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase · folate cycle
StrongTier 1
rs00677011:11,800,000CTSample Subject carries one reduced-activity allele, predicting roughly 60–70% of reference enzyme activity. This is associated with modestly elevated homocysteine and altered folate processing in some individuals.

Historical contextPrior analysis (v1) reported this variant against an unspecified assembly; re-called here on GRCh37 with concordant genotype.
MTR — Normal Function
Methionine synthase · remethylation
ModerateTier 2
rs00678011:237,000,000AAReference genotype predicting normal methionine synthase function. No remethylation-pathway concern is indicated from this locus.
Source: dbSNP rs0067801 ↗
MTRR — Reduced Recycling
Methionine synthase reductase · B12 recycling
LimitedTier 2
rs00679015:7,900,000AGHeterozygous genotype associated with mildly reduced B12 recycling. Clinical impact is uncertain and likely small in isolation.
