MTHFR Gene Mutation Testing

What is the MTHFR Gene Mutation?

The MTHFR gene (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is responsible for producing an important enzyme that helps your body process folate (vitamin B9) and regulate homocysteine levels.
When there is a mutation in the MTHFR gene, the body may not efficiently convert folate into its active form (L-methylfolate). This can lead to higher homocysteine levels in the blood, which has been linked to a variety of health conditions.

Why is MTHFR Important?

MTHFR gene mutation has been studied in relation to:

  • Chronic fatigue and low energy

  • Infertility and pregnancy complications (such as recurrent miscarriages)

  • Cardiovascular issues due to high homocysteine

  • Neurological and mood disorders (anxiety, depression, migraines)

  • Developmental delays in children (including autism spectrum concerns)

Testing for MTHFR Gene Mutation

At Stem Cells Center Malaysia, we provide MTHFR genetic testing to help patients understand their risk factors and personalise their treatment plan.

  • Simple blood or saliva test

  • Accurate analysis of the C677T and A1298C variants (the two most common mutations)

  • Personalised wellness guidance based on your results

Supportive Therapies Available

While having an MTHFR mutation does not mean you will definitely develop health problems, it may influence how your body responds to nutrition and environmental stress. At our centre, we guide patients with:

  • Nutritional and lifestyle support

  • Folate and B-vitamin optimisation

  • Adjunctive regenerative therapies where relevant
