A member asked:
I've been told i have homozygous a1298c mutation. what kind of doctor treats this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Internist, heart dr: This mutation causes a defective gene which codes for the enzyme mhft which metabolizes a derivative of folate (folic acid) which is important in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. High homocysteine levels have been associated w/ an elevated risk of blood clots and atherosclerosis. An internist or cardiologist can help treat you for this condition.
