CBS Gene Test in Australia and New Zealand – Understand Your Sulphur Metabolism and Methylation Pathways

We look at over 900,000 SNP’s and use the latest AI powered software to analyse over 80 million variants that significantly influence your health.

A CBS gene test helps uncover how your body regulates sulphur metabolism, detoxification, and methylation efficiency. At Life X DNA, we include CBS gene analysis as part of our comprehensive DNA testing kits – available across Australia and New Zealand.

Using next-generation sequencing, we analyse over 20 million SNPs and genetic markers to assess core methylation genes like CBS, alongside related pathways affecting homocysteine, glutathione and nutrient metabolism.

What Is the CBS Gene and Why Does It Matter?

The CBS gene (Cystathionine Beta-Synthase) plays a crucial role in the transsulfuration pathway – converting homocysteine into cystathionine.

Variants in CBS may affect:

  • Homocysteine breakdown and B6-related metabolism
  • Sulphur compound levels and detoxification efficiency
  • Methylation stress and nutrient recycling demands

CBS is also functionally linked to genes like MTHFR, MTR, and BHMT, making it a key player in overall metabolic balance.

Why the CBS Gene Test Is Included in Our DNA Analysis Panels

At Life X DNA, CBS gene testing is built into our broader methylation and detox reporting. Rather than isolating it as a separate product, we analyse CBS in context through:

  • Our 100X Advanced Methylation Report (26 genes, 300+ related)
  • Detox and oxidative stress pathway summaries
  • Interaction insights with B6, B12, glutathione, and SAMe metabolism

This ensures results are not only comprehensive – but meaningful.

If you’re looking for CBS gene test kits in Australia and NZ, Life X DNA provides science-backed interpretation and trusted privacy standards.

Who Uses CBS Testing and Why?

CBS gene testing may be useful for individuals who:

  • Are exploring methylation and homocysteine balance
  • Have previously tested for MTHFR or B12 issues
  • Suspect issues with sulphur-rich foods or supplements
  • Are developing a personalised detox or nutrient strategy

Reports are non-diagnostic – designed for educational use and personal optimisation, not treatment.

FAQs About CBS Gene Testing

It shows how efficiently your body may convert homocysteine to cystathionine, impacting sulphur metabolism and methylation balance.

Potentially. Variants may increase methylation demand or alter sulphur pathways. But interpretation depends on broader genetic context.
