MTHFR genetic testing: Controversy and clinical implications.

Australian family physician - 1 Apr 2016

Long Sarah, Goldblatt Jack

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A polymorphism is a variant within a gene that does not necessarily affect its function, unlike a pathogenic mutation. Genetic testing for two common polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR), 677C>T and 1298A>C, is being accessed by general practitioners (GPs) and alternative medicine practitioners (based on in-house records from referrals), and promoted through some...
