The MTHFR gene plays an important role in several processes throughout the body. It helps convert dietary folate into a form the body can use and supports the conversion of homocysteine into methionine—an amino acid needed for protein production and other important cellular processes. Certain genetic variants in the MTHFR gene can reduce the efficiency of this pathway. For some individuals, this may be associated with differences in folate metabolism or higher homocysteine levels, particularly when dietary folate and other B-vitamin status are not optimal. MTHFR Genetic variants can cause:
Low energy or stamina
Difficulty with focus or brain fog
Changes in mood or feelings of stress
Abnormal laboratory markers, such as elevated homocysteine or low levels of certain B vitamins
Increased risk of blood clots
Fertility issues
