MTHFR gene analysis test UK and Europe
Please note that mindovermetal works with another laboratory to provide MTHFR and COMT gene analysis testing. The test is done as a genetic profile only, along with other SNPs as well as MTHFR and COMT. The test links are listed above in the other options section.
There are two options for collecting the sample. Both options involve a saliva cheek swab sample and both options have completely the same level of accuracy.
1) The saliva cheek swab samples can be collected at home using ordinary cotton buds (6 are needed, 3 for each cheek) that are used to clean ears with. This method is completely accurate, reliable and stable. The DNA dries and will remain in the swab, a reagent is used to separate the DNA from anything else on the swab. You will be sent the sample collection instructions document and the test requisition document via email and there is no need to wait for a test kit. You will need to print out the test requisition form, so you will need to have access to a printer. To view the instructions please download below:

2) A test kit will be posted to your address which contains 10 wrapped long stick cotton swabs (6 are needed, 3 for each cheek, extra 4 swabs in case of any mistakes/issues) and the test requisition document and sample collection instructions document. This method is completely accurate, reliable and stable. The DNA dries and will remain in the swab, a reagent is used to separate the DNA from anything else on the swab. The delivery of the test kit is free of charge if you are ordering from the UK. There is a delivery cost of £5 if ordering from outside of the UK.
