You may have heard that if you have an MTHFR variant, you should avoid folic acid and should take other types of folate, such as 5-MTHF However, this is not true
- MTHFR Gene Mutation: Symptoms, Testing, and Treatments
The abbreviation MTHFR refers to a relatively common genetic mutation It stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, and having this mutation may lead to high levels of homocysteine in the
- MTHFR mutation: Symptoms, testing, and treatment
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme that breaks down the amino acid homocysteine If the MTHFR gene that codes for this enzyme mutates, it may contribute to health issues,
- MTHFR Gene Mutations: What You Need to Know - WebMD
MTHFR gene mutation affects folate metabolism, linked to higher risk of cardiovascular issues, blood clots, and certain birth defects It influences methylation and homocysteine levels
- Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase - Wikipedia
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a cosubstrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine Natural variation in this gene is common in otherwise healthy people
- MTHFR Gene Mutation: Symptoms Treatment - Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC
MTHFR (short for methylene-tetra-hydro-folate reductase) is both a gene and an enzyme When people talk about MTHFR, they are generally referring to the gene that tells the body how to make the enzyme
- What Autoimmune Diseases Are Linked to MTHFR?
The MTHFR gene (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) provides instructions for producing an enzyme central to metabolic processes Autoimmune diseases involve the immune system mistakenly producing antibodies that attack the body’s own healthy tissues and organs Research suggests that variations in the MTHFR gene may influence the body’s metabolic processes, potentially contributing to
