World Thrombosis Day Steering Committee Chair Prof. Beverley Hunt, O.B.E. and Steering Committee Member Jean Connors, M.D. discuss MTHFR and thrombophilia testing.
MTHFR polymorphisms are not an inherited thrombophilia so they should not be included as part of a thrombophilia panel. Furthermore, patients who have these polymorphism should be reassured that this common finding does not place them at increased thrombotic risk and they do not, in fact, carry a thrombophilia. It is time for thrombosis experts to partner with
patients and their laboratories and remove MTHFR polymorphism testing from existing thrombophilia panels, as is recommended by multiple professional societies and leading institutions. This will prevent unnecessary anxiety for patients and reduce healthcare spending.
