Thanks, MrsD. Perhaps I'll ask my physician next time. Perhaps I could just circumvent it, if I can't get the test, and take some folate too, as you say. It's not like a decent level of folate is bad, at least I think.

Not sure about 23andme and why they responded as they did. IS CMTT the same marker?

For now my physician wrote another B12 test and a vitamin D test, and ferritin, I believe. Also included in there are a number of other tests. My magnesium was tests and came back at 0.85 mmol/L.

The posters here who have had the 23andme testing provided the CMTT and MTHFR results, here as raw data. Maybe 23andme have changed their format?

Your doctor can order this DNA test for you and maybe you should consider that?
