PURSER WELLNESSGENOVA™ Neopterin Biopterin Urine Profile for MTHFRFrom the reading room

This test result is bad and could indicate an infection, especially viral. This is a great test for those with A1298C and especially who are Homozygous A1298C. Neopterin is bad while biopterin is good. If neopterin is repeatedly high, the BH4 is low. Neopterin is a sensitive marker of cellular mediated immunity. Reduced levels reflect cellular immunity weakening. Increased neopterin occur with infectious, inflammatory, immune system dysfunction or neoplastic disease evolution. Excessive neopterin negatively impacts the Nitric Oxide pathway in the body (e.g. excessive peroxynitrite formation an

<150 supports deficiency; 150-400 is often treated as borderline and may warrant MMA/homocysteine review.

<4.0 suggests deficiency. Recent intake or supplementation may raise serum values.

Classify by evidence, zygosity, phenotype, and clinical actionability rather than a numeric range.
