MTHFR1298 for AC type is to represent the folic acid metabolism risk monitoring for no risk, can take a small dose of folic acid during pregnancy, to prevent the fetus to develop neural tube malformation.
MTHFR is a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene test, which detects whether the level of folic acid metabolism is normal or not. MTHFR1298 test results can be divided into three kinds of test results, which are CC, AC and AA, of which AC type and AA type represent no risk, and CC type represents moderate risk.
1. Type AC and AA: It indicates that the enzyme activity required in the process of folic acid metabolism in the body is very good, which is a normal result, and you can take folic acid according to the normal dosage during the preparation for pregnancy or in the first trimester of pregnancy.
2. CC type: It means that the activity of folic acid metabolizing enzymes in the body of the tested person has decreased, but the normal folic acid metabolism can still be maintained, and it is necessary to prolong the time of taking folic acid and appropriately increase the dosage of folic acid under the guidance of a doctor.
Folic acid should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, should not be overdosed, and should be discontinued in time for medical consultation if any discomfort occurs.
