The following is a thread from 'Mothering.com' and in it Mamafish9 idents BHMT01 rs482842 as the rs. This was back in 6/2010. I'm still searching to find verification of which of the BHMT rs# is the one we should be reporting (the one Yasko has identified as related to methylation cycle).

I posted on the Yasko forums to see if anyone can tell me more about the nameless SNPs. I also am browsing the data in the 23andme sample account.

Here are my guesses:

AHCY 2: rs1205357

I don't think 23andme tests the other two AHCY snps. However, the support for those is very similar to SHMT, which you do have identified.

BHMT: taking a leap that the 1, 2, 4, 8 refer to a sequence of mutations Dr. Amy was monitoring, guessing that:

BHMT 1: rs492842
BHMT 2: rs6894156
BHMT 4: rs6875201 or rs379754
BHMT 8: rs3797546 or rs567754"
