Genes in the homocysteine conversation

How the pieces connect
Folate, B12, and sulfur pathways involve many genes. The exact variant and its classification tell you more than a gene name or a colored app result.

Dr. Purser asks whether an apparently reassuring laboratory number can hide a nutritional problem. That is a useful question, but the proposed answer must be tested rather than assumed. Protein intake, absorption, medicines, othe…
