Folate deficiency was associated with 54% higher median tHcy levels among patients with mental disorders compared to controls.

The higher tHcy levels in folate-deficient patients with mental disorders indicate an impaired folate metabolism, which might be related to genetic factors, such as polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene. Ensuring a serum folate concentration above 15 nmol\/L and a serum cobalamin above 250 pmol\/L might improve symptoms in patients with mental disorders.<\/jats:p>\n\t
