No: Mthfr mutations have been associated with recurrent miscarriage. The linkage is very weak and not even be real. Even if they do, you need to have 2 mutations which you do not. They do not cause infertility.

Not so: Mthfr is not a primary cause for infertility. The single copy of 677 does promote less ability to make glutathione and increase inflammation. Consider a supplement called homocysteine factors.
