MTHFR mutation genetics

Testing for an MTHFR mutation can provide insight into how well the body processes folate and homocysteine, which may affect cardiovascular health. People with the mutation might have an increased risk of conditions like blood clots, miscarriages, or mental health issues, making the test relevant for personalized health management. Additionally, knowing the mutation status can help guide dietary and supplement choices, particularly regarding folic acid and B vitamins.
