Default homocysteinen levels

Hi Rose, (or anyone else)
Do high homocystein level indiacte low b12 or are there other reasons that the levels would be high? My dad had a stroke a coulpe of years ago at the age of 69. He also had a rare cancer, desmoplastic melenoma. So rare they but him in a clinical trial in Sloan Ketterin in N.Y. His homocystein levels are high he thought it was from taking some new med for high cholesterol. I told him to have his b12 level and mma checked next time he goes to the doctor. He also has high BP. My grandfather (his father) died of some kind of complication due to bladder cancer. One other question, Do you think that I should have my daughters b12 level tested? They are only 7 and 2 1/2.
