The following ICD-9 codes for MTHFR are listed as a convenience for the ordering physician. The ordering physician should report the diagnosis code that best describes the reason for performing the test and provide the 4th and 5th ICD-9 digit as appropriate.

O99.111 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O99.111 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Homocystinuria due to MTHFR deficiency is a genetic condition that results from poor metabolism of folate (also called vitamin B9), due to a lack of working enzyme called MTHFR. The gene that tells our body how to make the enzyme is also called MTHFR.
It refers to a relatively common genetic mutation. MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It's getting attention due to a genetic mutation that may lead to high levels of homocysteine in the blood and low levels of folate and other vitamins.
Homocystinuria due to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency is a metabolic disorder characterised by neurological manifestations.
ICD-10 code Z14. 8 for Genetic carrier of other disease is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The MTHFR mutation will also cause issues with detoxing properly, as well as issues with hormone balance and immune system function. It has been associated with autoimmune conditions such as fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's, and lupus.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D68. 51 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D68.
Researchers have identified several hundred mutations in the ATM gene that cause ataxia-telangiectasia. People with this disorder have mutations in both copies of the ATM gene in each cell. Most of these mutations disrupt protein production, resulting in an abnormally small, nonfunctional version of the ATM protein.
ICD-10-CM Code for Sickle-cell trait D57. 3.
The ICD code E721 is used to code Cystathioninuria. Cystathioninuria, also called cystathionase deficiency, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that results in an excess of cystathionine in the urine.
The latter is usually related to an overall deficiency of all the B-complex vitamins. ICD 9 Code: 270.4. Cystathionine. Source: Wikipedia.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code E72.12 and a single ICD9 code, 270.4 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
In turn, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is involved in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. MTHFR has an important role in maintaining folate and methionine levels, as well as helping to keep circulating homocysteine levels low. MTHFR is also involved in the methylation pathway, which has multiple, wide-ranging roles in the body, including regulation of gene expression and enzymatic activities1.
MTHFR testing may be performed on individuals with elevated homocysteine levels, those with a personal or family history of premature cardiovascular disease, and those who have family members with a known MTHFR mutation.
