What is MTHFR? Is that a curse word?
Science and medicine are in the early stages of understanding genes and gene mutations and the potential of gene therapy to treat disease.
The MTHFR gene mutations are probably the best known of the gene mutations, but relatively little is truly known about them by most people.

In this article, I will discuss the MTHFR gene mutation, explain how you can be tested for it, and show what it may mean if you are positive for one of its common variants.
