Would someone mind helping methylation and detox SNP analysis

Hi
I am in Australia and am hoping someone would give some insight to my methylation and detox report as I'm not sure about any of it. Sorry if the list is long but not sure which are relevant. Have had CFS since 2000 and now autoimmune issues are starting :( I dont have regular internet as i am living in a tent ATM.

Thank you
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

These are the ones I am familiar with that I consider relevant:

1.) MTRR A66G rs1801394 G GG +/+


is a mutation with the gene involved in recycling Vitamin B12. If you have CFS and this mutation, there's a chance you might be functionally low in B12. You might want to consider highly absorb able B12, such as Australia-based B12Oils. I have this mutation and the Adenosylcobalmin / Methylcobalmin mixture is what I use. Sublingual B12 tablets are better than nothing.


2.) MTHFR

it looks like you are heterogeneous (half-mutated) for A1298C... but I don't see info for the "major" MTHFR gene dysfunction which is C677T. do you have this info?

You may have reduced functionally in covering folate in food into methylfolate. I have reduced functionality and it caused me severe depression and chronic inflammation until I fixed it.

You MIGHT benefit from taking methylfolate (start small, like 100mcg, and increase slowly). If methylfolate helps consider an all-in-one methylation formula like MethylGuard or Methy B Complete. These have methylfolate, TMG, B2, B6, B12... everything you need to support our methylation cycle.


2.) SOD2 A16V rs4880 G GG +/+

Having the SOD2 mutation means there's a chance you might be lower than average in mitochondrial antioxidant superoxide dismutase. This can make you more susceptible to aging, chronic fatigue, and noise related hearing loss. If you want to address it, a supplement called MitoQ may help some people with this mutation. It's expensive but it gave me a lot of energy. I recovered so I no longer take it.


Hope this helps! Much love and best of luck with your health and living situation. :heart:

Average MTHFR functionality in the general population is about 70% of optimal. A1298C +/- would only be about a 17% reduction in MTHFR functionality, so it would be better than average to only have that mutation.

Look in my signature link for the SNPs Interpretation Guide. You can run your 23andme raw data through geneticgenie.org to pull out the relevant SNPs.

However, at this time, I think Ben Lynch's Strategene interpretation may be superior for the methylation section. The detox section is still ok.

I also have links to Strategene and geneticgenie on the page.

Hi
The 677t is -/-.
Thank you for your replies. I will look at the links and may have some other questions.

Hello Nicole,

I have CFS and also live in Australia. I would really like to have contact with you ..... could you email me to

wendy.murray18@gmail.com. .. and let me know where you are and how I could get in touch with you.

I do hope you find this and get in touch.

Is there a way to test without an expensive genetic test when shmt1 is a "no call" on 23andme?

Well, that's great. I have all variants in those 5 snps that self hacked link listed. So I have high oxidative stress? I need to what? Up my SOD2 or take it down? I have too much or too little?

I need to increase it, right?

(I tried PQQ a while back and felt weird on it)

Self-hacked isn't a reputable source. It's necessary to look up the SNPs involved to see if research shows that the really have an impact, and how large any impact is.
