What is MTHFR? 

MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It is an enzyme deficiency that can cause many problems. There are 50+ gene variants. The most common ones that doctors will look for is C677T,  A1298C, P39P and R594Q. 

There are many combinations of MTHFR.

Some people are homozygous. 
Example: Homozygous C677T means they got a copy of C677T from each parent. 

Some people are compound heterozygous. 
Example: One copy of A1298C from one parent and one copy of C677T from another parent. 

Some people are heterozygous. 
Example: One copy of A1298C from one parent. 

Some people have triple homozygous mutations. 
Example: Homozygous C677T, P39P and A1298C. I am sure I do not have to explain how this happened. By now you should know. Let me note that I have only been in contact with one person who has had a triple homozygous mutation.  


Why Is Folate A Better Choice Than Folic Acid For Us? 

Folate Metabolism and MTHFR

What are some common problems with MTHFR?

  • Homocystinuria
  • Hemolytic anemia
  • High homocysteine
  • Thyroid disease I keep this one up here. Many of us have Hashimoto's thyroiditis who have MTHFR. Could it be from the metal toxicity? The glutens? Or the excessive fluoride we cannot dump?
  • Gluten intolerence Glutens affect gut absorption. Which inhibits vitamin b absorption.
  • Breast Cancer
  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Non Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • ALS
  • Parkinson's
  • Alzheimers
  • Bi polar
  • Schizophrenia
  • Anxiety
  • Panic Attacks
  • Neuralgia

  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • DVT
  • Heart attack

  • Neural tube defects
  • Heavy metal toxicity

One enzyme deficiency can cause all of these problems.
 
I will be adding links in the next few day connecting evidence to all of these problems and MTHFR and I will be adding more as I educate myself about MTHFR. If anyone is aware of something that I have not added please contact me at beclotaware@gmail.com.
