MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It is an enzyme that helps in breaking amino acids into homocysteine and folate. A genetic mutation causes high levels of homocysteine in the blood with low folate levels and other vitamins. It can cause serious problems in the body like homocystinuria, anencephaly, spina bifida, and others. The symptoms of MTHFR mutation are bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, pain and fatigue, and colon cancer. It is treating by taking folate and vitamin B 12 supplements and lifestyle modification.
