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.
The MTHFR Gene. There are currently a total of 34 mutations in the MTHFR gene. The MTHFR gene sits on Chromosome 1. There are two key variants we test for (as at this stage there is little or no research on the others). SNPs that we currently test for: MTHFR C677T; MTHFR A1298C; Heterozygous = 1 copy of the gene from either parent Homozygous = 1 copy of the gene from each parent. MTHFR C677T Heterozygous = 40% loss of function * MTHFR C677T Homozygous = 70% loss of function * MTHFR A1298C Heterozygous = 20% loss of function (research not known) MTHFR A1298C Homozygous = 40% loss of function **
