The Gene:The Gene Explained | What the Gene Is That?

Understanding the MTHFR Gene and Folate The MTHFR gene (codes for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) plays a crucial role in the body's ability to process folate (vitamin B9), which is essential for DNA synthesis, repair, and overall cellular function. Variants in the MTHFR gene can affect how well the body metabolizes folate, potentially leading to health issues. Key things to know: 1. MTHFR Gene Function: The MTHFR enzyme converts folate into its active form, 5-MTHF, which the body can use f
