Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme of the same name. This enzyme is crucial for processing folate, a type of vitamin B9, and controlling levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood. This gene has a crucial role in several bodily functions, including DNA creation and repair. Variations or changes in the MTHFR gene can affect how well the enzyme works, which may impact overall health and increase the risk of certain conditions, such as heart disease or complications during pregnancy.
