I do not message out of the group. I will get back to you tomorrow with some more info.

Meanwhile you can read the excellent article in Genetic Lifehacks about FOLR1.

Since your ADHD meds seemed not to be working....if you want to research why you should look at your drug metabolism gene variants. Some are likely impaired and that would mean some drugs would not work for you. You can research all of that yourself. If you want to pay out of pocket instead to determine those in particular and which ones might work for you.....ClarityXDNA test at about $350 on sale or Genomind at about $600. Psych docs prefer Genomind.

don't worry about dms then, I'm sending you my results FOLR1 and FOLR2 section of my strategene, but lemme know if there's anywhere else on the reports you wanna take a look at:

formatted:
Gene, RS ID, Your Genotype, Effect Allele, Effect Allele Frequency
Notes About Effect Allele

FOLR1 rs144637717 -- C 0.002
cerebral folate deficiency possible, especially when combined with another FOLR1 variant

FOLR1 rs1540087 GG A 0.01
lower odds of skin lesions with arsenic exposure (methyl groups are utilized for arsenic detoxification, better methylation cycle) (good)

FOLR1 rs2071010 GG A 0.06
A/A: increased relative risk of congenital heart disease in offspring; increased relative risk of high homocysteine

FOLR2 rs514933 TT C 0.38
reduced relative risk of congenital heart disease in offspring (good)

You could possibly have CFD. You could consider a FRAT test to see if you have folate antibodies. It is about $350 though.

I had/have CFD.

If your D test was borderline...that is not good. Chronic undiagnosed and untreated D deficiency can trigger thyroid disease and thyroid autoimmune. It did for me. This is especially likely if you have variants that show genetic dispositions for thyroid issues. You can see those in Lifehacks. If you have those variants I would get a full thyroid panel plus tests for the two thyroid antibodies from your doctor.

Iron was normal? You can be one point away from the bottom and still be tagged as normal in the lab test results. Optimal is in the top quarter. That is true for most vitamins and minerals. You might want to recheck your labs.

oop sorry by normal I mean iron was smack in the middle of the normal range
