Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yes there are 20 plus mutations, but the most frequently found in developmental delay is 677 and 1298. All tested in this house and all are positive heterozygous. Only my son is the one that had delay, go figure. Mb12 folinic Tmg took care of his delays, making great progress in all areas. Except now a tad of a problem with taking fish oil, was taking 3 proefa but definitely became an issue here, so on to unlock why the sudden change, think we have it figured out as to what is the problem, so some changes are being made with that supplement. > > > > Hello All, > > > > Very important new study for those on the list with > kids whose MRIs > revealed > > perinatal brain damage - including PVL and other > forms of . > > > > This MTHFR gene polymorphism is the one that has > just been linked to > autism > > (see Boris, Goldblatt, Galanko and , > " Association of MTHFR Gene > > Variants with Autism, " Journal of American > Physicians & Surgeons, Vol > 9, No > > 4, Winter 2004 - ), and is one of the main genes > responsible for > methylation > > -- the process by which metals are detoxified from > the body.

What should we do with this information? Thanks. Maybe you would like to read about these mutations here: http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=607093 If you search the internet I am sure you can find tons of information and treatment options. I would try FolaPro (instead of the usual folic acid), methylB12 and maybe TMG and B6. Do you know his sulfur status? Do you know if he has high homocysteine?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Mat, Would you please share how your child's doctor determined this, i.e., what tests were done, etc.? And, thank you for the good Friday laugh! Though you didn't intend it, the initials MTHFR pretty much sum up how I feel some days about illnesses in general. lol ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Augold, We have done the elimination diet and now on a diet of no gluten or diary and have seen a huge difference in behaviour and growth.:-) Though he appeared anemic so to make sure we did lots of blood work and came back anemic no surprise but also this mutation which is apparently very common but your body can not process B12. The way around is by a nasal spray at a cost of $25/wk or give nothing and pray his blood cells will do the job. The Dr is an allergist and exteremly good but has no idea about CMT so I when things comes up I want to know if there could be a link or just the luck of the draw. I feel he has enough to deal with at the age of 5. He is the kid with the funny run on a weird diet and AFOS and now an expensive aray of vitamins and minerals. I agree the only thing to do these days is to laugh about illnesses it certainly is better than the alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
