I was just recently tested for the MTHFR Mutation gene by myhematologist/oncologist, the test came back POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY OF THE A1298CMUTATION, what does that mean and how will that affect my currently bloodcondition called ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura)? Will I need to makelifestyle changes?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This gene mutation has no relation with your immune thrombocytopenic purpura.  It is immune mediated disease in which there is destruction of platelets occurs by your own immune 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 Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
