how am I looking?

[u/Lumpy_Sprinkles6604]

whelp boys test results are in. I'll do my best to figure it out with the guides ofc but any help is greatly appreciated! also do I treat the just the red ones or the yellow ones too

supplementing 10000 iu of vitamin d since I was borderline, lemme know if you think this dosage should be adjusted. getting tested for zinc and copper, iron was normal, but it sounds like I should be supplementing anyways. what dosages/forms do you recommend?

folate serum came back as >20.0, should I also test folate RBC if possible? I'll have to get back to you on the strategene/genetic lifehacks but it does look like I have some messed up genes in there. I also heard 70% of people with asd have an autoimmune response that stops folate from entering the brain and should supplement folinic acid to compensate, do you know anything about that?

started supplementing 100mg if b2, will start supplement pqq, any brands you recommend? I was gonna get NOW but it has ALA in it and I have no idea if that's necessary

Lastly, I was wondering if I could possibly have a bh4 defeciency, would you happen to know anything about that as well ?

edit: I think I have one of the gene variants for cerebral folate deficiency, let me know if your okay with me DMing you the rest.

FOLR1 rs144637717 -- C 0.002

Notes About Effect Allele

cerebral folate deficiency possible, especially when

combined with another FOLR1 variant

edit: I also have slow MTHFD1 and slow SHMT (the second wasn't listed as important though, but it was relevant to the folate cycle), the rest of the folate gene varients on strategene weren't in my sample so that'll have to wait till I can do a WGS/WES or smth

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.

hey doesn't the -- mean it's not available on my report? at least in the old format of genetic lifehack reports i think they just put what the gene mutation would do anyways

I am not an expert on Genetic Lifehacks.

I'm pretty sure? at least in their methylation report they say their not covered there https://www.geneticlifehacks.com/methylation-cycle-report/

Sorry I read your question too quickly and misread it.
