Dysregulation of MICAL2 has been associated with cancer progression, neurological disorders, and vascular diseases.

MRPS9 (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S9): MRPS9 is a component of the mitochondrial ribosome, essential for the synthesis of proteins within mitochondria. It plays a vital role in producing proteins required for mitochondrial function and energy generation. Impairments in MRPS9 can reduce mitochondrial efficiency and may be associated with mitochondrial disorders, influencing overall cellular energy metabolism.

TP63 (Tumor Protein P63): TP63 is a member of the p53 family of transcription factors that plays a key role in the development and maintenance of epithelial tissues, as well as in cell cycle control and programmed cell death. It is involved in embryonic development, stem cell maintenance, and tumorigenesis. Mutations in TP63 can cause various developmental disorders and have been linked to certain cancers. Research continues to explore its dual roles in normal cell function and disease.

TP63

OXTR (Oxytocin Receptor): OXTR is a gene that encodes the receptor for oxytocin, a hormone involved in social bonding, sexual reproduction, childbirth, and maternal behaviors. It plays a key role in regulating social interactions and trust, and dysregulation may contribute to conditions such as autism and social anxiety disorders.

OXTR

NFE2 (Nuclear Factor, Erythroid 2): NFE2 is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells. It plays a key role in the development and maturation of erythroid cells. Alterations or mutations in NFE2 can affect red blood cell production and may contribute to blood disorders.

NFE2

RWDD3 (RWD Domain Containing 3): RWDD3 is a protein whose function is not yet well understood. It is under investigation for its potential roles in cellular processes and its relevance to human health and disease.

RWDD3

SARDH (Sarcosine Dehydrogenase): SARDH is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of sarcosine, an intermediate in the conversion of choline to glycine. It plays a key role in one-carbon metabolism, which is important for processes such as DNA methylation. Dysfunctions in SARDH can impact metabolic pathways and have been linked to certain metabolic disorders.




SARDH

TMPRSS4 (Transmembrane Protease, Serine 4): TMPRSS4 is a member of the transmembrane serine protease family, located on the cell surface and involved in activating proteins by cleaving peptide bonds. TMPRSS4 plays important roles in physiological and pathological processes, including cell migration, invasion, and the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is critical for development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. Its overexpression has been linked to the progression of various cancers, making TMPRSS4 a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

TMPRSS4

MPO (Myeloperoxidase): MPO is an enzyme primarily expressed in neutrophils and plays a key role in the body’s defense system. It generates hypochlorous acid and other reactive molecules from hydrogen peroxide to combat bacteria and pathogens. While essential for immune defense, MPO activity can also contribute to tissue damage during inflammation and has been linked to diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, through its role in oxidative stress.

PVR (Poliovirus Receptor): PVR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a receptor for poliovirus and related enteroviruses, facilitating viral entry and infection. Beyond its role in viral recognition, PVR is essential for cell-cell adhesion, immune regulation, and tissue homeostasis. It contributes to the integrity of epithelial and endothelial barriers through its involvement in adherens and tight junctions. Interactions of PVR with ligands such as TIGIT and DNAM-1 help regulate immune cell activation, influencing both innate and adaptive immune responses. Dysregulation of PVR expression or function can have significant impacts on immune function and tissue integrity.

CACNA1D (Calcium Voltage-Gated Channel Subunit Alpha1 D): CACNA1D is a gene that encodes a subunit of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel, which is essential for regulating calcium influx in various cell types, especially in muscle and nerve cells. Mutations in this gene have been linked to conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and certain cardiac dysfunctions.

CACNA1D

MRPS18C (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S18C): MRPS18C is a component of the mitochondrial ribosome, essential for mitochondrial protein synthesis. It plays a key role in producing proteins that are part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Dysfunction in MRPS18C can impact mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, potentially contributing to mitochondrial disorders.



MRPS18C

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
