Mosaic DiagnosticsWhat this laboratory test evaluates
Why Use the DNA Methylation Pathway Profile?The detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may impact health and disease risk is crucial for providing effective clinical care to patients. The DNA Methylation Pathway Profile can identify various SNPs associated with many aspects of health, including insulin sensitivity, bone health, cancer risks, cardiovascular health, detoxification processes, fertility, mitochondrial function, metabolism, methylation, and neurotransmitter balance. These SNPs are DNA sequence variations that occur commonly in the general population, and they can affect protein, enzyme, or cell receptor structure and function. Identifying SNPs and their impact on health is an area of active research that has the potential to lead to more personalized medical interventions.
Interpreting SNP results can be challenging, as it can be difficult to determine the extent to which a DNA genotype is expressed phenotypically. Functional tests, along with evaluating a patient’s symptoms and responses to intervention, are essential for assessing the influence of known SNPs on the phenotype.
Additional test information
The DNA Methylation Pathway Profile screens for a variety of genetic changes (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that may impact the function of important biochemical processes such as methionine metabolism, detoxification, hormone balance, and Vitamin D function.
Collection and processing
- Sample type: Buccal swab
- Fasting: No
- Estimated laboratory processing: Results should arrive 21 business days after the lab receives samples.
How Sunridge uses laboratory information
Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
Before requesting this test
Availability, collection requirements, eligibility, and processing estimates can change. Sunridge reviews each request and, when appropriate, creates the order through Fullscript. Follow the current instructions supplied with the approved order.
