MTHFR variants are associated with mental health issues, depressed mood, fertility, fetal development and migraine headaches. The MTHFR gene is responsible for transforming folate (vitamin B9) into its active form. This form is called L-methylfolate, which can be taken as a supplement when MTHFR variants are present.
Measures: DNA for genetic variants of the MTHFR gene at 677 and 1298.
