S-adenosylmethionine

The Methylation Panel is designed to offer insight into the critical biochemical methylation pathway. It can uncover a patient's nutritional support needs (such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals) by measuring methylation metabolites in plasma. This test cannot be ordered for patients under two years of age. YOU MUST ORDER THE METHYLATION GENOMICS ADD-ON SEPARATELY.

The Methylation Profile provides a functional assessment of the phenotypic expression of common SNPs by evaluating the plasma levels of methionine, cysteine, SAM, SAH, homocysteine, and cystathionine. It also provides the "methylation index," a ratio of SAM to SAH.
