Is the M T H F R Mutation Associated With Pregnancy Outcomes?

The m t h f r stands for methal tetro hydropholate reducts. It's an enzime that assists in the metabolism of homo sistine, which is nmeno acid and hyper homosistinema. The data is more problematic in pregnancy, whether that correlates to miscarriage or pre-clamsia. There are some data that m t h f ar mutations can be associated with neural tube defects,. But again, in general, we do not recommend screening or testing.
