I've done a bit of reading, but really haven't learned anything practical. Any input apreciated.

My family all has the MAO-A R297R homozygous.

This is not scientific, but I associate it with serotonin imbalance which can manifest as: anxiety, depression, OCD tendencies. We all respond well to taking P5P which seems to boost neurotransmitter levels and keep us more stable.

Here is some information on MTHFR a1298c you might be interested in. Not as much is known about this mutation it seems.

Good luck!

Thanks Sherpa.

Your association with MAO-A seems to hold, at least a little. It's definitely in the family. I feel like those tendencies can show up from time to time in me, but they're not dominant. On the other hand my memory is bad enough that I seem to forget how bad things were a few years ago. Interestingly, I've never found a benefit to P5P over B6, and I think it's likely that I was a little B6 toxic from supplementation a while back.
