TESTED POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY OF A1298C

[JOANIEB052059]

I AM A 48 YEAR FEMALE - MOTHER OF TWO ADULT CHILDREN, CURRENTLY MY DAUGHTER 25 IS PREGNANT WITH THIRD PREGNANCY - SHE HAD A MISCARRIGE WITH FIRST, AND NOW PROUD MAMA OF A HEALTHY 13 MONTH OLD BABY GIRL. MY DAUGHTER IS A HIGH RISK PREGNANCY DUE TO PRIOR HEART ISSUES FROM HER CHILDHOOD. THE HEART CONDITION WAS RESOLVED WITH SURGERY 5 YEARS AGO. THE NEW HIGH RISK DOCTOR HAS DONE MORE TESTING TO THE HIGH RISK DOC THAT DELLIVERED 2ND BABY. HE DISCOVERED MY DAUGHTER HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY C677T MUTATION AND ONE COPY A1298C MUTATION. THE RESULTS STATED THAT SHE IS COMPOUND HETEROZYGOUS. THE DOC ADVISED THAT MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE THE TEST TO SEE IF WE ARE THE CARRIERS, I HAD THE TEST AND RESULTS SHOW I AM POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY A1298C AND HETEROZYGOUS AND NO C677T MUTATION. MY HUSBAND WENT FOR THE TEST TODAY AND WE ARE WAITING FOR RESULTS. MY QUESTION IS, IS MY DAUGHTER AT HIGHER RISK OF HEART HEALTH ISSUES AS SHE GETS OLDER? SHE IS CURRENTLY ON REGIMENT OF VITAMINS B6 - B 12 FOLIC ACID SUPPLEMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PREGNANCY SHE IS IN SECOND TRIMISTER (5TH MONTH) - WE BOTH CURRENTLY ARE ON MEDICATION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, FAMILY HISTORY, BOTH MY PARENTS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART ISSUES, AND STROKE. SHOULD I ALSO BE CONCERNED WITH ONE COPY OF THE MUTATION? THIS IS VERY COMPLEX AND CONFUSING FOR US. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF MY SON WHO IS 27 SHOULD BE TESTED BEFORE HE STARTS A FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
