A total of 150 women with a history of two or more recurrent miscarriages and 20 fertile control women with no history of pregnancy losses had buccal swabs taken for DNA analyses of 10 gene mutations [factor V G1691A, factor V H1299R (R2), factor V Y1702C, factor II prothrombin G20210A, factor XIII V34L, beta - fibrinogen -455 G > A, PAI - 1 4G / 5G, HPA1 a / b (L33P), MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C].

This conversation covers all of that and so much more, including: metabolic typing, preconception nutrition, genetics, defining methylation, and the much talked about MTHFR mutation.

If you'd like to learn more on this subject, I've put together a beginner's guide to MTHFR here, and a FAQ page here.

To make matters more complicated, about 50 % of the population is estimated to have at least one mutation at the MTHFR gene and 10 % has two mutations, meaning they're less able to methylate B12 or convert cyanocobalamin to methylcobalamin.

Individuals without dietary restrictions or MTHFR mutations can simply consume more meat, fish, poultry, and eggs in their diets.

Those with a defective MTHFR gene have an impaired ability to produce the MTHFR enzyme (estimates range from 20 % -70 % or more).

If you are new to MTHFR and feel overwhelmed like I did, here are some great resources for more reading:

The more mutations you have to the MTHFR gene the less able you are to methylate and detoxify toxins, such as mercury and lead.

The cost is $ 199, and you get more information than just MTHFR status.

homocystiene, methylation and MTHFR mutation How does this relate to MTHFR mutation; for example heterozygous C677T, where methylation proceeds much more inefficiently than in folks with homozygous C?

Problem is, nearly half (if not more) of U.S. women have some sort of MTHFR mutation, which means they can not properly digest folic acid.

Here, I'd like to chip away at one small piece of the puzzle that I have not written about yet: why benefits from SAMe supplementation should cause one to look not only at the most commonly discussed methylation nutrients (e.g., B12, folate, choline, betaine, methionine) and genetic polymorphisms (e.g., MTHFR) but also at issues that are more commonly neglected when discussing methylation: magnesium and the metabolic rate.

MTHFR is associated with folate more than anything.

According to research, more than half the general population has some type of MTHFR mutation.

I have been starting to learn more about MTHFR.

Again, all the latter is simplified and you will need to seek more detailed information from a qualified practitioner or even some of the excellent website and forums on MTHFR.

NOTE FROM JANIE BOWTHORPE: I have one copy of the 1298 MTHFR mutation and never had a problem, until the stress of mold exposure followed by having to detox high copper seemed to make it come alive, along with mutations with COMT, MTRR and more.

So the short answer to your question is no, you can not compensate for an MTHFR gene variant by taking more folate in your diet.
