                                Hereditary Folate Malabsorption (HFM) is a rare genetic disorder, with only about 60 cases reported worldwide, that prevents the body from properly absorbing and transporting folate. This inherited condition manifests early in life and is distinctly different from folate deficiency caused by a poor diet.
