Have been advised by LLID to see a hematologist about my high b12/folate levels.
I have recently learned that I have the MTHFR C677T single copy gene mutation and my research points to the fact that this mutation may not allow the conversion of folate/ B12 to an absorbable form in the body and this could lead to high serum b12/folate level, which may essentially mean that I am folate/b12 deficient.
Of course my LLID who is somewhat familiar with MTHFR has never heard of this as a possible cause of elevated b12 and wants me to go to a hematologist to rule out other possible causes.
Can anyone recommend anyone in the NJ/NY/CT area?
Thank you all!

I am VERY interested in this. My b-12 levels have been >3,000....WAY over the limit, too high. I am a vegetarian and do not supplement, so this makes no sense. NOT one doctor can tell me why. Where did you find this info about MTHFR possibly causing that elevation? and what other causes did your doc say there might be? from NJ also.
