MTHFS

The MTHFS gene encodes methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, an enzyme involved in folate metabolism. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the pool of active folate derivatives used for methylation, DNA synthesis, and neurotransmitter production. MTHFS regulates the conversion of various folate forms and helps maintain the balance of one-carbon units essential for cellular function. Variants in this gene may disrupt folate recycling, potentially affecting methylation pathways and contributing to issues such as impaired detoxification, fatigue, or mood imbalance.

Description

What is the function of the MTHFS gene?

MTHFS encodes an enzyme that helps regulate folate metabolism and supports methylation and nucleotide synthesis.

Why is MTHFS important in methylation pathways?

It ensures the proper recycling and balance of folate derivatives essential for effective methylation and DNA replication.

What are the potential consequences of MTHFS gene variants?

They might cause inefficient folate utilisation, leading to raised homocysteine levels, decreased detox capacity, or neurological symptoms.

How could MTHFS polymorphisms impact health?

They could be linked to tiredness, difficulty concentrating, mood issues, or sensitivity to folic acid supplements.
