DIO2 & MTHFR Gene Testing

[Suzie83]

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with Hashi's a few years ago and I'm interested in taking these tests. I've seen some posts about 23andme but I can't see anywhere on their website if they exclusively test for either DIO2 or MTHFR. I can't seem to find any contact details on their site to ask them either.

Or should I just get the DIO2 test with Regenerus labs as linked to on the thyroid uk website? I also found the MTHFR genetics uk site but I can't seem to see if they do the actual MTHFR or DIO2 test. I'm confused!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Suzie

Suzie,

23andme include these but the data has to be uploaded for interpretation. See links below.

Regenerus Labs conduct both the DIO2 & MTHFR test and give you the results with counselling. Counselling is recommended for most genetic testing as these conditions are life long and sometimes the results can be very negative.

I didn't have counselling as my results went to my nutritionist who forwarded them with advice.

I used Regenerus. I had to phone them to identify the correct gene test when I wanted the DIO2 test. They are very helpful
