Clinical significance of gene detection of folate metabolism ability;
1. Predict the risk of neonatal birth defects and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;
2. Provide guidance for pregnant women with MTHFRC677T gene mutation, and increase folic acid intake at different times during pregnancy;
3. Detection of MTHFRC677T gene can provide diagnostic basis and medication guidance for patients with high HCY level or abnormal folic acid metabolism.
Detection of MTHFR genotype in the following population:
1, patients with essential hypertension (predicting the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease);
2. Hypertensive patients with elevated homocysteine (Hcy);
3. Hypertensive patients with risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia;
4. Stroke patients (targeted treatment to reduce the recurrence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases);
5. People with a family history of stroke;
6, prenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women, guide folic acid intake, prevent fetal birth defects.
