GenoSolutions offers one Neurogenomic test:
- Evaluates polymorphisms in genes that modulate methylation, glutathione conjugation, oxidative protection, and the potential to evaluate vascular oxidation.
- Uncovers genetic susceptibility, neurodegenerative disorders, developmental issues, mood disorders, oxidative stress and detoxification capacity
Methylation
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase)
COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase)
These genes affect how homocysteine and methionine are metabolized to support formation of S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe). The ability to donate methyl groups affects neurologic function and is modifiable by proper B-vitamin intake.
Detoxification
GSTM (glutathione-s-transferase, M, isoforum)
GSTP (glutathione-s-transferase, P, isoforum)
These genes are responsible for detoxifying products of oxidative stress and carcinogens. Variants decrease detoxification capacity.
Oxidative Protection
SOD-2 (Superoxide dismutase -2)
These genetic variants alter anti-oxidant enzyme activity and modify requirements for anti-oxidants.
