We cannot say for sure without seeing the results. However, A1298C is a common variation in the MTHFR gene. We all have two copies of the MTHFR gene, one from each parent.
We recommend a session with a genetic professional, who can review and explain the results and discuss possible clinical implications. A genetic counselor can be found at the National Society of Genetic Counselors website or through companies like mine, AccessDNA. Hope this information helps.
