The MTHFR Gene and Pregnancy

Each person has two copies of each MTHFR gene SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) — they get one from each parent. Gene mutations can affect one (heterozygous) or both copies (homozygous). Health issues are more likely to occur when both genes are affected. This happens in 10% to 15% of people.

MTHFR C677T Pregnancy

One specific MTHFR SNP mutation is C677T. This mutation can cause hyperhomocysteinemia. This condition is characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels damage the lining of the arteries and speed up the blood clotting.

MTHFR A1298C Pregnancy

Just like C677T, A1298C mutation can have a negative effect on pregnancy. Research found that women with A1298C mutation suffered from elevated homocysteine levels. It showed that women carrying this gene SNP are at significant risk of vascular-related pregnancy complications.

MTHFR Treatment During Pregnancy

Many women live with MTHFR gene mutations and can still give birth to healthy babies. However, if the mutation is discovered before or during pregnancy, several treatment options exist to improve the health of both the fetus as well as the mother.
