Understanding the Health Risks of Mycotoxins: MycoTOX Profile by Mosaic Diagnostics
Mycotoxins—toxins produced by certain mold species—are among the most prevalent environmental toxins, posing significant risks to human health. Found in homes, vehicles, and even food, mycotoxins have been linked to a wide range of acute and chronic health issues. Due to their varied and often nonspecific symptoms, exposure can be difficult to diagnose without specialized testing.

The MycoTOX Profile: Comprehensive Mycotoxin Testing
Mosaic Diagnostics offers the MycoTOX Profile, a state-of-the-art urine-based mycotoxin test that provides a detailed analysis of 11 different mycotoxins, including:

Aflatoxin M1
Ochratoxin A
Zearalenone
Trichothecenes

This advanced mycotoxin panel test helps clinicians identify mold exposure and assess the potential impact of mycotoxins on health. By measuring these key markers, the MycoTOX Profile offers critical insights into mold-related illness.

Key Benefits of the MycoTOX Profile:

  • Comprehensive Analysis: Detects and measures 11 mycotoxins, offering a detailed overview of toxin exposure.
  • Urine-Based Testing: A non-invasive and accurate method for assessing mycotoxin levels in the body.
  • Guides Treatment Strategies: Helps clinicians develop targeted therapeutic approaches for mold illness prevention and recovery.
  • Environmental Insights: Serves as a tool for understanding exposure sources, complementing indoor mold tests and environmental toxin assessments.

How Does Mycotoxin Testing Help?

  • Early Detection: Identifies hidden mold exposure before symptoms escalate.
  • Customized Care: Provides actionable data for tailored treatment and prevention plans.
  • Holistic Health Management: Supports a deeper understanding of mold-related illnesses and their impact on overall wellness.

Who Can Benefit from the MycoTOX Profile?
Individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or respiratory issues.
Those with suspected mold exposure from buildings, vehicles, or contaminated food.
Clinicians seeking a comprehensive tool for assessing mold-related illnesses.

Why Choose Mosaic Diagnostics for Mycotoxin Testing?
Advanced Technology: Uses state-of-the-art urine assays for reliable and accurate results.
Trusted by Clinicians: A leading choice for mycotoxin analysis and mold illness testing.
Actionable Results: Empowers healthcare providers with the data needed to address mold-related health concerns effectively.

MycoTOX Profile TEST Details

Why Test for Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins cause adverse health effects that may be acute and chronic in nature that can manifest in various and ambiguous symptoms, the degree of impact can vary depending on the age, sex, genetics, and underlying health status of the exposed individual, as well as the duration and dose magnitude of the offending substance and their synergistic effects with other mycotoxins. Providers assessing symptomatic patients with known mold exposure or with an environmental history concerning mold exposure, will also need to consider the concomitant presence of mycotoxins and their potential negative health impacts as proper testing is essential for accurate treatment. The MycoTOX Profile is specifically designed to help healthcare practitioners identify mycotoxin exposure and guide a targeted prevention and treatment plan.

 

How Can Someone Be Exposed to Mycotoxins?

Common routes of exposure include inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion via commonly contaminated food sources (corn, cereals, ground and tree nuts, spices, dried fruits, apples, coffee, meat, milk, and eggs). Mold contamination can also affect nearly all indoor materials, including drywall, paint, wallpaper, carpeting, and more, posing various routes of exposure. When excessive moisture is present in high-humidity geographic areas or water-damaged buildings, the growth of these biological agents in damp environments leads to the production of spores, cells, fragments, and volatile organic compounds, which have been linked to a wide range of health hazards.

 

How Does the MycoTOX Profile Measure Mycotoxins?

The MycoTOX profile utilizes state-of-the-art liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology to ensure high specificity (or fewer false positive results) and capture free (unconjugated) mycotoxin presence even at low levels. This is crucial, as mycotoxins, even at low levels of exposure, can cause serious health problems. Our test is so sensitive that we can detect amounts of many compounds in parts per trillion (ppt). To account for variations in fluid intake, we utilize creatinine correction to ensure accurate and reliable results. By employing LC-MS/MS technology, we can precisely identify all our analytes, reducing the risk of false positives. With the MycoTOX Profile, you can trust that you are receiving the most accurate and reliable results possible.

ANALYTES

The MycoTOX Profile urine-based assay assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins.

 

Below is a list of all all analytes included in the test along with a brief description.

Aflatoxins: AFM1 
An aflatoxin of concern, AFM1, is a hydroxylated metabolite of AFB1 and is secreted in the milk of both humans and animals.

 

Ochratoxins:  Ochratoxin A  
Ochratoxin A (OTA) which is the most prevalent, toxic, and clinically relevant fungal toxin of this mycotoxin group. While it has been associated with numerous negative health impacts, the kidney has been noted to be its main target organ – and studies indicate its association with nephrotoxicity in humans and animals.

 

Trichothecenes: Roridin E (ROE), Verrucarin A (VRA)  
Tricothecenes are extremely potent inhibitors of protein synthesis and have been described to have wide-ranging negative systemic effects including immunotoxicity (immunosuppression), gastrointestinal toxicity, neurotoxicity, and dermatologic manifestations.

 

Zearalenone:  Zearalenone  
The main toxic effect of Zearalenone relates to its endocrine disruptive capabilities and as such, resultant negative reproductive effects in humans and animals.

 

Chaetoglobosin (CHA)  
Chaetomium globosum is frequently isolated from materials found in water-damaged buildings – and is often referred to as ‘black mold.’

 

Enniatin B (ENB)  
ENB has been shown to have endocrine disrupting properties as well as the ability to cross the blood brain barrier in in vitro assays.

 

Gliotoxin (GTX)  
Airborne Aspergillus fungal spores are ubiquitous in many environments making potential exposure to gliotoxin common. Gliotoxins have been found on linoleum flooring and wallpaper in water damaged buildings, as well as silage and other animal food stocks.

 

Mycophenolic Acid (MPA)  
MPA is used as an immunosuppressive drug for the prevention of transplant rejection in the form of sodium mycophenolate (Myfortic™, Novartis) and a pro-drug, mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept™, Roche) – and as a result, its levels may be elevated on diagnostics in patients using these pharmaceuticals.

 

Sterigmatocystin (STC)  
Sterigmatocystin is a precursor of aflatoxin B1 in fungi capable of producing aflatoxins. Despite the similarity of chemical structure of these two mycotoxins, Sterigmatocystin has been noted to be a less potent carcinogen than Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). It is classified as a Group 2B carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

 

Citrinin (CTN) 
Exposure to CTN has been linked to the development of nephropathy, which is caused by CTN’s ability to increase the permeability of mitochondrial membranes in the kidneys. Rat studies have demonstrated that CTN is carcinogenic. Furthermore, several studies have linked exposure to CTN with a suppression of the immune response.
