Will Positive Result In MTHFR Mutation Test Affect ITP Condition?
I was just recently tested for the MTHFR Mutation gene by my
hematologist/oncologist, the test came back POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY OF THE A1298C
MUTATION, what does that mean and how will that affect my currently blood
condition called ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura)? Will I need to make
lifestyle changes?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This gene mutation has no relation with your immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It is immun mediated disease in which thete is destruction of platelets occurs by your own immun system.
You should take steroids to control that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
