Interesting stuff. I have one daughter who is FVII deficient and another who has two mutations on the MTHFR. We were part of a study with Dr. Diane Nugent and she took all data to the World Hemophilia Gathering a couple years ago. Neither of my girls show any symptoms and don’t receive any treatments or medication. Although, no doctor has ever attempted to discuss if I should give the one with MTHFR mutation folic acid or folate. I live in South Texas and don’t always have the most faith in our health care. Is there something else I should be doing to ensure adequate care for my girls or treat if symptoms arise only?

A healthy diet is full of folic acid, so no supplementation should be required. As you are a concerned mother, I am sure you are feeding your girls well, and don’t need to worry about this.
