(718) 218-4791info@briyahealth.comA one-time gene test, including MTHFR, drawn at home anywhere in Brooklyn with a New York-licensed provider to explain what results mean.
This test checks common gene changes, such as in the MTHFR gene, that can affect how your body processes folate, B vitamins and some chemicals. These processes are called methylation and detoxification.
Adults who want to learn more about their genes as one input into their wellness plan, with clear guidance on what the results do and do not mean.
Your provider collects your sample at home. At your follow-up, you go over the results and whether they suggest any changes.
Your labs are drawn and reviewed by a licensed medical provider.
We walk you through your results in a visit, not just a PDF.
No lab waiting room. Your provider comes to you in Brooklyn.
Your provider explains what gene variants such as MTHFR can and cannot tell you, before you decide to test.
Genetic tests need your informed consent. You will know what is tested, who sees the results and how they are stored.
A blood sample or cheek swab is collected at home, depending on the lab.
Your provider explains your variants in plain language, including that many are common and harmless.
MTHFR variants are very common. Major genetics groups do not recommend routine MTHFR testing to diagnose disease or to guide most treatment.
These results do not diagnose any illness and should not replace standard tests. Be cautious of anyone who sells expensive supplements based on a single variant.
Genetic results can affect family members too. Ask before sharing them, and know that federal law limits how health insurers and employers can use genetic information.
New York law requires written informed consent before most genetic tests and limits who can see the results. Your provider walks you through the consent form at your home visit.
Labs that test samples from New York patients must hold a New York State permit for that test. Your provider uses a permitted lab, which is why the exact lab used in Brooklyn may differ from other states.
If you are asking about MTHFR because of pregnancy plans, your provider will explain current folic acid advice, which applies whatever your result.
No. MTHFR changes are very common, and most people with them are healthy. Major genetics groups do not recommend routine MTHFR testing to diagnose disease.
They may help your provider tailor B vitamin and folate advice. They do not diagnose any disease and should not replace standard tests.
No. Your genes do not change, so this test only needs to be done once.
