I certainly don't have the C677T mutation, but there is a huge chunk of the MTHFR gene missing despite the 30x sequencing. So I don't really know if it's a deletion or a gap. I don't think it's a deletion though, because it's just too large of a piece. I guess something affected the MTHFR in both saliva samples.

example:
rs1801131(C;C) Number of risks. Complex. MTHFR rs1801131 is involved in converting 5-methylfolate (5MTHF) to tetrahydrofolate (THF). Unlike MTHFR C677T, this mutation does not lead to elevated homocysteine levels.

This one was covered by 23andme v3 and an older AncestryDNA test, so I don't have to rely on the FGS from Nebula. I'm (A;A).

I see. I had a second DNA in Jan. 2021 (first in 2009) and I discovered quite a few changes.
Either more methylation or new science results.
