Early detection and intervention can make a world of difference. Our innovative testing helps identify potential markers associated with autism spectrum disorders, providing valuable insights that can guide personalized treatment plans and support strategies for improved quality of life.

Understanding the underlying factors of depression is crucial for effective treatment.

Folate, (Vitamin B9) is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in mental health. Proper Folate metabolism is important in depression as it is involved in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters play a critical role in mood regulation.

Folate receptor autoantibodies, in relation to their function, impede proper folate transport. Folate receptor autoantibodies have been found in people with depression.

A healthy pregnancy sets the foundation for a child's lifelong well-being.

Folate, (vitamin B9), is crucial during pregnancy as it is necessary for proper development of the fetal neural tube, which eventually forms the brain and spinal cord. Additionally, as cells rapidly divide and multiply during pregnancy, a sufficient supply of folate is necessary to ensure that DNA is replicated accurately. This is particularly important in the early stages of fetal development when the embryo is rapidly growing. Ensuring that sufficient folate is available and proper folate transport is unperturbed is vital.

Folate receptor alpha (FRa), a major transporter of folate, has been found to be extensively expressed on the placenta. This high expression of FRɑ on the placenta is a critical part of ensuring that the developing fetus receives an adequate supply of folate, which is essential for proper growth and development.

Folate receptor autoantibodies are known to make the folate receptor alpha (FRa) dysfunctional, thereby potentially disrupting adequate folate transport. This may present a problem for overall folate transport into cells.

Screening for folate receptor autoantibodies in pregnancy (or even pre-pregnancy), with the use of FRAT^®, is advisable.
