Exact blood levels for diagnosis?

Shouldn't there be a mention of the exact normal range of MTHF in the blood used for diagnosis? ---CopperKettle 05:07, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found a 2014 UK guideline titled "Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cobalamin and folate disorders" (Devalia et al.) and added the recommendations for diagnosis from it. I hope it's okay. --CopperKettle 16:49, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

pteroyl polyglutamase (PPGH) - no mention anywhere

As of 05 February 2020, the article mentions pteroyl polyglutamase (PPGH) but I can't find any mention of this enzyme in the Internet. All Google links lead back to the Wikipedia article. --CopperKettle 18:31, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Usually known as "folylpolyglutamate hydrolase" but "pteroyl polyglutamate hydrolase" is recognised. See PMID:1397183. Jrfw51 (talk) 22:01, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! --CopperKettle 08:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
