Warmed and cooled by the trade winds, the weather in The Bahamas Out Islands is always perfect for tropical vacation getaway. Temperatures in most of the Out Islands of The Bahamas linger between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, thanks to the constant gentle trade winds. And that means The Bahamas really donât have an off-season. Of course, temperatures vary by location of each island and also a Caribbean resortâs location on its island.
An abnormal change in gene structure, called a mutation, of the MTHFR gene can cause a disruption of the MTHFR enzymeâs normal function of breaking down homocysteine. The two common MTHFR gene mutations occur at specific locations called âpositionsâ along the gene.
MTHFR mutations are common. The mutations can be âheterozygousâ meaning they occur only on one strand or âalleleâ of the chromosome, or they can be âhomozygousâ, occurring on both alleles. The frequency of a heterozygous C677T mutation is common, occurring in about 35% of the population.The homozygous C677T mutation is about 5-10% of the population. A mutation in A1298T is more common but is generally less problematic. The homozygous variety of A1298T occurs in 9% of the population.Another mutation involves both the C677T and the A1298T alleles.he two common MTHFR gene mutations occur at specific locations called âpositionsâ along the gene. The one we generally test for is located at position 677. At this location, one amino acid base pair is different, in that Cytosine is replaced by Thymine. This mutation is thus called C677T.
