What’s searchable?Makes an enzyme that helps break down catechol compounds, including some neurotransmitters. A common variant does not by itself explain mood, attention or stress tolerance.
This coming Sunday night at 7PM MST I discuss MTHFR (and other methylation errors), COMT, GAD1, FOLR2, and SOD errors during my Facebook Live. Remember that my book, THE 85% SOLUTION was on Amazon for 2 years regarding these subjects. But
Supports enzymes involved in processing sulfites and other compounds.
GGH encodes gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, which removes glutamate residues from folate compounds. This affects folate handling and helps explain why folate metabolism includes retention and processing as well as intake.
Makes an enzyme that helps produce a form of folate used in the processing of homocysteine. Common variants are different from rare variants that cause severe MTHFR deficiency.
PSEN1 encodes a presenilin protein that participates in gamma-secretase, a protein-processing complex. Some pathogenic variants can cause familial Alzheimer’s disease; a listed common marker is not equivalent to that diagnosis.

Dr. Purser explores glutathione, liver processing, antioxidant recycling, and the importance of considering the whole pathway.
Curious about the term "MTHFR" you've seen in my posts? It's not a random sequence of letters but stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, a key enzyme in processing folate in our bodies.🧬 MTHFR also refers to the gene that encodes
ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT! TONIGHT @ 7PM MST (the usual) FACEBOOK LIVE WILL BE ALL ABOUT FIBROMYALGIA AND MTHFR! We’ll follow up on 2 week’s ago genetics MTHFR COMT conversation, then discuss why MTHFR is such a big portion
Highly preanalytic-sensitive. Fasting, processing, and recent intake matter.
