MTHR gene mutations to the C....

[Guest guest]

I haven't seen my doc yet, just talked on the phone, but she tells me my son has

the worse kind of mutation to his MTHR gene you can have, and something about C.

She said this is an issue with his ability to mythylate.

Can anyone give me any suggestions for how to handle this - supplements to look

at - anyone else's child have this type of issue?

My son is almost seven. He basically presents as severe adhd - which is

controlled with diet and concerta. He has been on concerta only since the

beginning of this school year and I have intentions on taking it away (tapering

off, of course) as the school year closes.

We've been doing nfb, enzymes, diet, and it has helped tremendously.

Has anyone had this kind of issue or know anything about it?

Thanks!

Actually " the worse kind of mutation to the MTHR gene you can have " results

in severe neural tube defects,and spina bifida.

I have C677T,and A1298C polymorphisms myself.In addition to fairly severe

atypical autism,with all that goes with it,including developmental delay,and

multiple apraxias,I have a history of chronic pneumonia,childhood-onset heart

failure,adult-onset " metabolic strokes " (Both controlled with MB12,and folinic

acid.),lack of thoractic-abdominal muscles,ileitis,megaloblastic/pernicious

anemia,with childhood-onset " whole body " joint pain,and multiple mitral valve

defects with chronic carditis.

You can start by adding MB12,and folinic acid to his cocktail.

I think that there is a condition out there called homocystinuria,that might

explain a lot of the problems in " autism " ,especially if there is undiagnosed

anemia along with it.Homocystinuria has been documented with a lot of

neuropsychiatric conditions,including " features of autism " ,and has been shown to

cause high urinary porphyrins.
