Folic acid gene testing is necessary

Folate gene testing is necessary for women during pregnancy and early pregnancy. Folate gene testing can determine whether there is abnormal folate metabolism, so that the dose of drugs can be adjusted according to this result. If there is a folate metabolism gene mutation, it may cause many diseases, such as neural tube defects, Down syndrome or cardiovascular diseases. If you can detect it in advance, then you can adjust the dosage of this folic acid in time, so you can prevent abnormalities and diseases. In the first three months of pregnancy, it is best to start proper folic acid supplementation during pregnancy, which can reduce the risk of fetal neural tube defects. After pregnancy, you also need regular hospital check-ups, such as Down's four-dimensional ultrasound screening.
