COMT/VDR Both Heterozygous

Hey everyone.

Going through heartfixer and have the following issues:

COMT V158M​
rs4680​
AG​
+/-​
COMT H62H​
rs4633​
CT​
+/-​
COMT P199P​
rs769224​
GG​
-/-​
VDR Bsm​
rs1544410​
CT​
+/-​
VDR Taq​
rs731236​
AG​
+/-​

As you can see, I'm +/- for both COMT and VDR.

From my research, COMT +/+ means I degrade dopamine slowly, so I have more methyl groups floating around. But the VDR issue with +/+ means I need more methyl donoars to function properly.

So since I'm +/-, I'm assuming I'm somewhere in the middle, but does this just cancel each other out? So the COMT has more methyl donors floating around, but then the VDR takes those methyl donors up?

Here's the rest of my chart if it makes any difference:

thanks for any insights into this. heartfixer said regarding this combo: Multiple (+/-) combinations of COMT and VDR Taq are possible. We will address these “intermediate” genotypes with intermediate levels of methyl group supplementation. I will be more specific on your individual report.
