What is the rs41301825 variant?

rs41301825 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the AHCY (Adenosylhomocysteinase) gene. It belongs to the Methylation category and is part of the Methylation & Neurotransmitters biological cluster. AHCY encodes S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, which converts SAH to homocysteine, regulating methylation reactions.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the AHCY gene, which is involved in the one-carbon metabolism pathway. Genes within the Methylation & Neurotransmitters cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.

rs41301825 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

AHCY activity controls the ratio of SAM/SAH, the primary indicator of methylation capacity, which may be disrupted in Long COVID metabolic dysfunction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rs41301825 variant in the AHCY gene?

rs41301825 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the AHCY (Adenosylhomocysteinase) gene, which is involved in one-carbon metabolism. AHCY encodes S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, which converts SAH to homocysteine, regulating methylation reactions.

How may the rs41301825 variant relate to Long COVID or ME/CFS?

AHCY activity controls the ratio of SAM/SAH, the primary indicator of methylation capacity, which may be disrupted in Long COVID metabolic dysfunction.

Can a consumer DNA test detect the rs41301825 variant?

Many consumer DNA tests such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage genotype common SNPs. ChronicDNA analyses your raw DNA file and reports on variants studied in relation to chronic illness, immune function, and metabolism.
