What can you tell me about the disorder involving mthfr?

Methylfolate: MTHFR is a gene that codes for the enzyme Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase. It is involved in methylation and helps make neurotransmitters, DNA, and other important things.

Many skeptics: This testing is being promoted by a single lab and it's largely being driven by liability fears. The lab screens for tiny genetic mutations that are so common that the large majority of folks test "abnormal" and get told they should take some pricey vitamins. There's some statistical relationships but most of us pathologists don't believe in it. I'd stop worrying, stay fit and eat sensibly.
