The detection of folate metabolism gene is helpful for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases caused by folate metabolism disorder.

For most pregnant mothers, it is unnecessary to spend this money to do such a meaningless test. Of course, pregnant mothers feel uneasy, and if they want to ensure the health of the fetus, they can also do genetic testing of folic acid demand during pregnancy. After all, this test also has certain reference significance.

For a few pregnant mothers, because they or their husbands' close relatives have diseases caused by folic acid deficiency, it is best to explain the situation to the doctor in detail and do a genetic test of folic acid demand during pregnancy, and the doctor will use this as a reference to adjust the folic acid supplement plan for pregnant women.

There are three kinds of detection results of folate metabolism genes, namely CC type, CT type and TT type. The three test results represent three different metabolic conditions of folic acid.

The test result is CC type, which indicates that the enzyme activity required in the process of folic acid metabolism in the body is very good, which is a normal test result and there is no folic acid metabolism disorder.

The test result is CT type, which shows that the activity of folate metabolizing enzymes in the tested body has decreased, but the normal folate metabolism can still be maintained.

if the test result is TT type, folic acid metabolism is seriously impaired.
