MyHeritage MTHFR raw data
Does MyHeritage test MTHFR?
MyHeritage raw DNA data can be used for educational marker lookup when the file contains the relevant SNPs. GenoSight can check a compatible MyHeritage file for MTHFR markers and place supported results inside a cautious methylation report.
What to search
Use rsIDs, not broad gene-name guesses.
- MTHFR C677T: rs1801133
- MTHFR A1298C: rs1801131
- COMT Val158Met context: rs4680
- Missing marker means missing coverage, not normal
The practical answer
MyHeritage raw data can answer whether selected markers are present. It should not be treated as a stand-alone clinical methylation test.
MyHeritage raw data is a marker file
A raw DNA data download is a list of SNP calls. It can be useful for educational lookup, but it is not a clinical methylation test or medical diagnosis.
Search exact rsIDs
For MTHFR, search for C677T rs1801133 and A1298C rs1801131. If a marker is missing, that usually means missing coverage, not a medical negative.
Interpret in context
GenoSight frames MTHFR with COMT, folate, B-vitamin context, goals, missing coverage, and clinician boundaries rather than turning one SNP into a protocol.
Source boundaries
MyHeritage explains how kit managers can download raw DNA data and separately notes strand-orientation details for interpreting raw files. GenoSight uses that file only as educational context and keeps medical decisions outside the product.
Three safe next steps
Download the raw file
Use the MyHeritage raw DNA data download from Manage DNA kits, not a PDF or ethnicity screenshot.

Use the MyHeritage rs1801133 page to keep marker lookup, coverage, and interpretation boundaries separate.

Use GenoSight when you want MTHFR framed alongside COMT, B vitamins, goals, caveats, and citations.

Does MyHeritage include MTHFR in raw DNA data?
Some MyHeritage raw DNA files may include common MTHFR markers, but coverage can vary by file and testing version. The safest path is to check for rs1801133 and rs1801131 in the raw data file.
How do I download MyHeritage raw DNA data?
MyHeritage says the kit manager can download raw DNA data from Manage DNA kits. After the prompts, MyHeritage sends an email with download instructions, and the link is time-limited.
Can GenoSight read MyHeritage raw data for MTHFR?
Yes. GenoSight can analyze compatible MyHeritage raw DNA files and frame MTHFR alongside COMT, folate and B-vitamin context, user goals, and caveats. Reports are educational only.
Does MyHeritage raw data use the same strand as other sites?
MyHeritage says it reports SNPs located on the forward strand with respect to the human reference genome. Other tools may present variants differently, so marker detection and interpretation should stay separate.
