Clinical Info

Reduced levels of MTHFR activity led to elevated plasma concentrations of homocysteine, a condition referred to as hyperhomocysteinemia, a recognized risk factor for thrombophilia. Elevated plasma homocysteine has also been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and neural tube defects in fetuses of pregnant women.
