Understanding Your Genetic Health: MTR Gene CblG Deficiency Testing
When you’re dealing with unexplained health symptoms or have concerns about genetic conditions in your family, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that genetic testing is more than just a medical procedure – it’s about finding answers, gaining clarity, and taking control of your health journey. Our MTR Gene Methylcobalamin Deficiency CblG Type test is designed to provide the precise information you need to make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing.
What This Test Detects
The MTR gene plays a crucial role in your body’s ability to process vitamin B12, specifically in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to CblG type methylcobalamin deficiency – a condition that affects how your body utilises this essential vitamin. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify any variations in the MTR gene that could impact your vitamin B12 metabolism.
This isn’t just about identifying a problem – it’s about understanding your body’s unique genetic makeup so you can receive personalised care and treatment strategies that work specifically for you.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test may be right for you if you experience:
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Neurological symptoms like tingling, numbness, or coordination difficulties
- Developmental delays in children or cognitive changes in adults
- Family history of vitamin B12 deficiency or related metabolic disorders
- Previous normal B12 blood levels but persistent deficiency symptoms
- Unexplained anaemia that doesn’t respond to conventional treatment
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms without understanding the underlying cause. This test can provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying MTR gene mutations early can be life-changing. With accurate diagnosis:
- Receive targeted treatment plans that address the root cause of symptoms
- Prevent potential neurological damage through early intervention
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling support
- Avoid unnecessary treatments and medications that don’t address the underlying issue
- Gain peace of mind knowing you have accurate information about your genetic health
Early detection means you can take proactive steps to manage your health rather than reacting to problems as they arise.

We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports with expert interpretation. Your results will clearly indicate:
- Whether MTR gene mutations were detected
- The specific type of mutation and its potential impact
- Personalised recommendations based on your genetic profile
- Guidance for discussing results with your healthcare provider
Our genetic counselling session helps you understand what your results mean for you and your family, reducing uncertainty and providing a clear path forward.
