 Facts and Details

More Details

The Genate Test was developed from extensive academic research and clinical studies. It stands alone as the only prenatal genetic screening test to provide a comprehensive analysis of the key nutrient pathways in pregnancy. With your results, our registered dietitians can provide personalized nutrition recommendations to fit your genetics.

The Genate Test evaluates over 325 genetic markers, addressing the following genetic variants and metabolic pathways important for fetal development:

  • PEMT, CHK, and SLC44A1: Phosphatidylcholine and choline synthesis
  • MTHFR and MTHFD1: Metabolism of folate, choline, and B vitamins
  • MTR and BHMT: DNA methylation
  • CHDH: Choline and betaine metabolism
  • PNPLA3, APOC3, FADS2, and SCD: Fatty acid metabolism


One-carbon metabolism is the primary focus of the Genate Test due to its role in neural tube, brain, and nervous system development, DNA methylation, homocysteine metabolism, and postpartum recovery. The test also evaluates genetic variants in the metabolic pathways of nine other vitamins and minerals critical during pregnancy.

Each client's Genate Report provides information on their gene variants and how they impact metabolism of the following nutrients: choline, folate, DHA, betaine, vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, K, riboflavin, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

This test does not provide medical advice or diagnose any medical conditions. Consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding your results.


Your genetic data will be processed via the Genate Test algorithm, and you will receive a report regarding your metabolic inefficiencies that can cause depletions in important nutrients. The report will be shared with you via a secure, password-protected portal. This access will not be shared with anyone, including employees of SNP Therapeutics, healthcare providers, insurance companies, or law enforcement agents without your consent or the demand of a court order.

The Science Behind Nutrient Metabolism

Genes regulate your body's nutrient pathways. Genetic misspellings (called SNPs) can affect those pathways and the nutrition you share with your baby during pregnancy.

What’s Included:

Genate Nutrient Metabolism Summary Score

The Genate test algorithm provides a comprehensive polygenic risk score based on extensive research into the functional genes that interdependently affect one carbon metabolic efficiency. Inefficient one-carbon nutrient metabolism can impact gestation and pregnancy outcomes as well as your child’s brain composition. Knowing whether or not you have inefficiencies can help you make changes to your diet to support your unique needs. As a genetic variant detection and health risk assessment system, its clinical validity is established by decades of research identifying the functional genes affecting nutrient metabolism in one carbon nutrition.

Identification Of Your Metabolic Pathway Roadblocks

Folate and Choline Metabolism

Genes: MTHFR and MTHFD1

 

Phosphatidylcholine and Choline Synthesis

Genes: PEMT, CHK, and SLC44A1

 

DNA Methylation

Genes: MTR and BHMT

 

Choline and Betaine Metabolism

Genes: CHDH

 

Fatty Acid Metabolism (DHA)

Genes: PNPLA3, APOC3, FADS2, and SCD

Gene Variants & Nutrients Table

The Genate Report provides information on genetic variants that address the metabolism of the following nutrients: choline, folate, DHA, betaine, A, B6, B12, C, D, K, riboflavin, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Unique One Carbon Nutrient Recommendations

Personalized Precision nutrition recommendations can help you tailor your meal planning and supplement needs that are unique to your particular needs, not based on a one size fits all approach. 

Additional Vitamins and Minerals Recommendations

Individual nutrient cards provide you with insights into areas where you should increase your dietary intake. Work with an RDN on staff to help you support your meal planning and supplement needs and/or use our diet questionnaire and resources to learn how much more of a given nutrient you need and where to find it.
