How important are MAT1A SNPs to methylation? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #165

<p>Question: How important are MAT1A SNPs to methylation?<br /><br />These in principle, could reduce the activation of methionine, but I don't know that there are any studies that have looked at whether that's the case. And so, just because a SNP isn't a gene doesn't mean that it reduces the activity of that gene. In fact, it doesn't mean it does anything even to the protein sequence of a gene because a lot of SNPs don't affect the protein sequence. <br /> <br />If you would like to be part of the next live Ask Me Anything About...
