I’m so glad I confirmed once and for all about my MTHFR status. I had a raft of tests done last year by a practitioner which certainly pointed to under-methylation, including slightly elevated homocysteine, and other signs and symptoms, but the genetic testing they offered was extortionate. After completing my AncestryDNA I was able to upload my raw data file with Xcode Life at a very reasonable $20 and receive a report that was very easy to understand and which included details on some 42 gene SNPs in my profile relating specifically to methylation. My current health issues are moderate, not critical but I now have a concrete plan on how to go about lowering my homocysteine and checking it’s status every year as guide for health. Given my mother and both maternal grandparents had significant cardiac issues, this feels very prudent. I would definitely recommend Xcode Life as an economical option for unravelling one’s genetic markers.
