MTHFR

Almost looks like a bad word.

 In fact, I have seen t-shirts that say, "Genetically I am one bad MTHFR."

MTHFR aka Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase

"Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the methyl cycle, and it is encoded by the MTHFR gene." ~ Wikipedia

I recently found out that I have two copies (homozygous) for MTHFR C677T.

It seems to a large "missing piece" of my health puzzle. Perhaps several missing pieces!
