Does this mean I am G6PD deficient, I certainly have symptoms of it.

G6PD rs35972742 +/+ G
G6PD rs5030870 +/+ C
G6PD rs72554664 +/+ C
GBE1 rs3821556 +/+ AA
SLC37A4 rs11006 +/+ GG
SLC37A4 rs56258965 -/+ AG
SLC37A4 rs741811 +/+ AA

If so what tests can an allopathic doctor do to confirm it is expressing.

It would be more helpful if you put down the alleles instead of +/+

From what I understand is that there 400 variations that can cause G6PD. You can see more of them at 23andme.

But I think these are the two most common, MTHFRSupport lists them.

Why don't you go to a regular doctor? There is test for it:

It is a pretty clear disorder to have however, but I wonder if there can be lesser forms of it.
