Hi folks - I could use some help identifying possible root causes and/or SNPs to check (23andMe). Labs identified low mineral stores (iron/ferritin, RBC copper, RBC manganese) and I'm likely low in iodine also (recently diagnosed goiter).
The low mineral results are despite a super clean/healthy ominivorous diet, adequate amounts from food (I track), multivitamin/mineral supplements, cooking in cast iron pans, etc. I now take extra copper, manganese, iron and iodine (in addition to multimineral) to keep my levels normal/low-normal. This all seemed fine until now, but I'm really worried about the recent goiter finding (with "moderately suspicious" nodule).
Does anyone know of a specific SNP, enzyme/nutrient deficiency, inborn error or disease that could be interfering with multiple mineral storage and/or metabolism? Most of the info I find is focused on a single mineral. There's got to be something tying this all together, but I'm really stumped! All suggestions and wild guesses welcome. Thanks in advance.
YASKO SNPS:
Homozygous:
BHMT-08
COMT H62H (MIR4761)
COMT V158M (MIR4761)
MAOA R297R
Heterozygous:
MTHFR A1298C
ACE
BHMT-02
MTR A2756G
MTRR A664A
VDR Taq TT
