- The Genate Test was developed from extensive academic research and clinical studies. It stands alone as the only prenatal genetic screening test to provide a comprehensive analysis of the key nutrient pathways in pregnancy.
- One-carbon metabolism is the primary focus of the Genate Test due to its role in neural tube, brain, and nervous system development, DNA methylation, homocysteine metabolism, and postpartum recovery, but the test also evaluates genetic variants in the metabolic pathways of nine other vitamins and minerals critical during pregnancy.
- Each client’s Genate Report provides information on their gene variants and how they impact metabolism of the following nutrients: choline, folate, DHA, betaine, vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, K, riboflavin, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
- The Genate Test evaluates over 325 genetic markers, addressing the following genetic variants and metabolic pathways important for fetal development: PEMT, CHK, and SLC44A1 (phosphatidylcholine and choline synthesis); MTHFR and MTHFD1 (metabolism of folate, choline, and B vitamins); MTR and BHMT (DNA methylation); CHDH (choline and betaine metabolism); PNPLA3, APOC3, FADS2, and SCD (fatty acid metabolism).
