What role does MTHFR play in Haut?

MTHFR variants (e.g., C677T) affect folate metabolism and methylation, which can indirectly influence skin health through DNA repair, inflammation regulation, and collagen synthesis. Some studies suggest links to skin cancer risk (especially with UV exposure) or acne, but the evidence is weak and inconsistent. MyBody-X tests may include MTHFR, but its clinical relevance for skin is unclear. A balanced diet rich in folate (e.g., leafy greens) and consistent sun protection are more impactful than genotype-based recommendations. Results are probabilistic and not a substitute for medical advice.
