👋 Ever stared at your lab results and thought, “What am I even looking at here?” We hear that all the time with our CMA with Redox testing. Patients get TWO pages of results, and without a clear explanation it can feel overwhelming. In th

🚨 High homocysteine isn’t just a lab number—it’s a warning sign. Genes like MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, and GGH can overactivate the methylation cycle and lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which drives inflammation, stroke risk, and even kidney failure.

APOE encodes a protein that carries lipids between cells. The familiar APOE e2, e3 and e4 groupings depend on the combination of rs429358 and rs7412, not on either marker read in isolation.

FOLR2 encodes folate receptor beta, a folate-binding protein expressed in particular cell types, including subsets of immune cells. It is distinct from the FOLR1 receptor and the SLC19A1 reduced folate carrier.
