I am in NY and Our local/nation lab has removed MTHFR from our thrombotic panels, although we still test for homocysteine. We also have a "recurrent miscarriage panel" which is basically the same.
I know we had MTHFR testing previously, specifically for miscarriages, but I am unsure when it was removed.
