Hi,
I was wondering if there are any biochemistry whizzes out there. Several members of my family and I have elevated MCV, otherwise known as macrocytic anemia. In addition, we have below reference range levels of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid. Macrocytic anemia is normally associated with vitamin b12 or folate deficiency, but these in turn are associated with *elevated* levels of both homocysteine and methylmalonic acid, not decreased. Any ideas?Thank you in advance.
Becca
