Thanks MRSD!

If it was a polymorphism why would it take 'til middle adulthood to manifest....and would the Folate level of 1,575 nmol/L (ref range > 630) contraindicate that?

Folinic acid and methylfolate bypass this stalemate, and are more active

You may have one of the 25 polymorphisms that exist. (25 so far have been identified).
