Laboratory informatics based evaluation of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase C677T genetic test overutilization

Background: Laboratory data can provide a wide range of information to estimate adherence to guidelines and proper utilization of genetic testing. The methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T variant has been demonstrated to have negligible utility in patient management. However, the testi...
