Re: Methylcobalamin B12 1000mcg? MFTR gene mutation...could this be the genetic

[Guest guest]

As someone who carries this gene mutation and has ason on the spectrum i know

about this and the homocysteine issues,could this be the genetic connection?

they talk about the mutationin the sence it causesblood clotting but they treat

it with B12 and B2 and folic acid.

Good morning,

We did the Yasko testing Nutrigenomic. This test tested the genes related to

the methylation cycle.

We have good information now for my son to address his ammonia, BH$ deficiency,

glutathione levels, and methylation.

http://www.knowyourgenetics.com/Welcome.html

http://www.knowyourgenetics.com/The%20Methylation%20Pathway.html

Just another perspective. I am still keeping with all my other treatments and

with this information tailor the supplements to get my son's methylation

pathways working to increase glutathione and decrease ammonia.

Hope this helps.

Jerry
