Stop ignoring your MTHFR gene #HealthTips #Genetics #Shorts

[00:00:00]First of all, we have a major mutation called the MTHFR mutation that affects about 50% of the US population. Now, this mutation is in the special gene, the MTHFR gene, that produces the enzyme MTHFR, which is reductase enzyme, which is critical in the production of energy, in the production of neurotransmitters, and protecting the brain, and protecting our circulation. When we have a mutation in the genes, there's two genes We have See, we have 46 chromosomes, but on the first chromosome, at the position of the C677, the 677th position on that chromosome, the cytosine has been replaced with thymine, which is a nucleotide base. But, that's a mutation, meaning the gene doesn't work as good.

[00:00:47]When you have just one mutation from one parent, that gene is working at about 70%.

[00:00:54]But, when you've inherited the gene MTHFR from each parent, that gene's only working at 30%. At 30%, that enables disease to enter in. These include major depression, they include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, autism, ADHD.

[00:01:11]I've found so many people with this major mutation that gene. But, also they're increased risks of cancers, breast cancer, uterine cancer, pancreatic cancer, many different cancers, because the MTHFR gene is real important in cell division, and in DNA repair.
