Impact of CBS Gene Mutation on Homocysteine Levels and Glutathione Production

The CBS gene is involved in the methylation process and can work faster than usual due to mutations, which can counteract the impact of the MTHFR issue on homocysteine levels.

A CBS mutation can result in the conversion of homocysteine into taurine, ammonia, and sulfur instead of the normal pathway of producing glutathione. This can lead to lowered homocysteine levels at the expense of reducing glutathione production, which may not always be beneficial.
