Homocysteine and MMA are elevated in B12 deficiency while only homocysteine, and not MMA, is elevated in folate deficiency. low B12 and/or folate level in a person with signs and symptoms indicates that the person has a deficiency but does not necessarily reflect the severity of the anemia or associated neuropathy. Additional tests are usually done to investigate the underlying cause of the deficiency.
