Folic acid metabolizing capacity test results are assessed for risk by looking at the three gene types CC, CT, and TT.
Folic acid metabolizing capacity test is a test used to assess the level of folic acid absorption and metabolism.
The test report usually consists of four parts: gene, locus, risk genotype and test result. The gene is categorized into two key genes for folate metabolism, MTHFR and MTRR, which are tested for the A1298C and C677T loci on MTHFR and the A66G locus on MTRR, respectively, and the presence of a risk genotype in the patient will significantly affect the ability to metabolize folic acid.
The folate metabolizing capacity test result CC represents normal folate metabolizing capacity, TT folate metabolizing capacity is weak, and CT metabolizing capacity is moderate. In general, patients should only be concerned with the final risk assessment, which can be categorized as low, moderate, high, and no risk found.
In case of abnormal results of folate metabolizing ability test, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease with the help of a doctor and carry out targeted management or treatment.
