I wish I had received my genetic profile from 23andme before they were banned from making medical interpretations. All I received directly from them is mostly ancestry information (I am part Neanderthal lol).
They are a very competent company and I respect what they would have sent me. One of its founders is Anne Wojcicki who was married to Sergey Brin, the founder of Google. Despite all of his billions 23andme discovered that Sergey Brin was very susceptible to Parkinson's disease. Good information to know. I hope he is doing everything possible to avoid that fate, (like reading our threads about
vitamin D lol).
Geneticgenie.com and Promethease.com are based in England. For a $5.00 donation they will perform medical interpretations for you using 23andme data, That genetic information has allowed my girlfriend to finally manage her chronic migraines. It explains why some of us are genetically compromised for
metabolizing high histamine foods. And some of us on this forum have found it to be a useful tool in general. (I wish TheAnswersYouSeek aka Pathogenkiller would start posting here again).

23andme can give you more info. But plan on also getting homocysteine and ammonia blood tests to make sense if if you are having issues around any mutations. Organic acids test and urine amino acids tests can also be helpful as well as spectra cell. You can take a bunch of b12 and have high serum levels of b12 and folate, but if you don't have enough lithium (oat) and magnesium in your red blood cells (spectra cell) your body isn't using any of it because its not making it into the cell. However, then you kinda go down a test hole.. First step, 6 weeks on lmethyl and b12 then you can explore other issues. If you find you have homozygous CBS mutations you might alo want to address that concurrently by trialling diet mod/thiol restriction. Also, ndufs7/8, ATP and cox6 mutations need support with things like ubiquinol, b-2 ( bioactive form), b5(pantheoic acid), l carnitine..

I am going through my 23andMe results and I have A1298C heterozygous mutation. Although that just means that the enzyme is working 70% of its activity...
