MTHFR: Going Beyond C677T and A1298C

The MTHFR C677T and A1298C variants get a lot of press, but they do not give the whole picture of the MTHFR gene. Additional variants are impacting the functionality of the enzyme.

MTHFR variants and depression and anxiety

MTHFR, Depression, Anxiety, Symptoms and Treatment

We are all genetically unique, and a common genetic variant in the MTHFR gene causes some people to be more susceptible to having low folate levels. This article explains the research linking MTHFR variants, folate, and depression — and gives you information on how diet or supplements may help.

Histamine Intolerance, MTHFR, and the Methylation Cycle

Histamine Intolerance, MTHFR, and the Methylation Cycle

Genetics plays a role in how well your body breaks down histamine. Histamine that is out of balance with the body’s ability to break it down can cause symptoms that are collectively known as histamine intolerance. Discover how to check your genes that are involved with histamine levels.

MTHFR variants in Fathers Affect Miscarriage Risk, methylfolate vs folic acid

Dads Matter: MTHFR Variants in Fathers Affect Miscarriage Risk

Dads matter – in conception, pregnancy, and throughout life. It is easy to see how prospective moms need to clean up their diets, exercise, and sleep well before getting pregnant, but recent studies show that a dad’s MTHFR variants also affect infertility and miscarriage risk.

New research on FTO gene variants, FTO and heart disease, viral susceptibility

FTO and m6A Methylation

Recently, researchers discovered that FTO is an m6A eraser that removes methyl groups from mRNA. This discovery has opened up huge avenues of research on topics from cancer to immune response to heart disease.

miRNAs control gene expression by blocking translation of mRNA into the protein.

miRNA: What It Is and How It Works

miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They are important for healthy aging, longevity, metabolic health, and immune function.
