Precision nutrition genetic testing for human reproductive health.
SNP Therapeutics develops genetic tests and personalized nutritional approaches to support fertility, pregnancy, and men's reproductive health.
How our tests work
Responders and non-responders.
Nutrients must transit complex metabolic pathways before they reach the tissues that need them. Mapping those pathways, and the variation within them, separates responders from non-responders to nutritional therapy.
Variants with a measured effect.
Our algorithms prioritize genes selected for a measured effect on nutrient metabolism — on metabolite concentrations, enzyme expression, and clinical outcome.
Pathways and sub-pathways.
These pathways are connected, and one can often cover for a weakness in another. Testing shows how much a genetic difference matters — whether the others make up for it, or whether several combine into a real problem.
What we do
Reproductive health is personal. Genetics can help explain why.
Genetic variants (differences) can affect how people process nutrients involved in reproduction and early development. SNP Therapeutics studies these differences to identify clinically relevant patterns and develop personalized insights for patients and providers.
Our Fertility Portfolio includes Genate for prenatal and preconception care, and Sperm Function for male fertility. Both are designed to complement care from reproductive and obstetric health professionals.
The Fertility Portfolio
Two decades of academic research has guided the SNP Therapeutics fertility portfolio, providing a new layer of patient care to support families.
Genate — Prenatal and Preconception
A precision nutrition genetic test for women planning a pregnancy or in early pregnancy.
Explore Genate In developmentSperm Function — Male Fertility
A genetic test and nutritional approach for men whose sperm function is affected by common variants in one-carbon metabolism.
Explore Sperm Function In developmentFetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
The portfolio's next extension, applying the same pathways to prenatal alcohol exposure. Choline supplementation helps some affected children and not others, and variants in choline transport are associated with which children respond.

Pipeline
Two additional pipeline tests apply our methodology beyond the reproductive portfolio.
Fatty Liver (MASLD)
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a leading cause of chronic liver disease, and the therapies approved for its advanced stage treat established fibrosis rather than prevent it. Inherited differences in one-carbon metabolism influence who accumulates liver fat, how early, and who improves when those nutrients are addressed.
Exertional Muscle Breakdown (Rhabdomyolysis)
Some people have difficulty building muscle mass despite the exertion to do so, and where no structural or metabolic myopathy is identified the cause is usually recorded as unexplained. Clinical studies have identified a genetic pattern leading to muscle breakdown, with applications across athletic, military, first-responder and elderly populations.
The science behind it
Landmark research, ongoing datasets, and our own models.
Our Precision Nutrition approach begins with the landmark nutrition depletion research establishing choline as an essential nutrient and that human requirements for it vary genetically.
It continues through ongoing primary research into one-carbon nutrition and the datasets that work has produced.
SNP Therapeutics develops its algorithms from those datasets using machine learning, prioritizing the genes whose variants carry functional consequences for nutrient availability.
