That I have had a few minutes to think about it...

I do think the test will be limited to "what we know so far" about genetics.
Since medical research is constantly changing, this test may change in the
future and become more complete.

I discussed this with my husband and he is all for me having it run.
So I will look at the items measured and see if they are worth $125 to discover.
He has read about this already in his Wall Street research, only he didn't know
that it impacted the consumer directly yet...so HE DIDN"T TELL ME! How do you like THAT?

I expect it to include this:

Alot of research including the development of methylfolate revolves around the
MTHFR failures. I hope to find out OTHER systems that will be measured too.

This test does NOT detect blood levels, and cannot measure deficiency. It does not matter what
you are taking at the time, since only DNA is being looked at. (genes).
So it is not a COMPLETE profile of what you may need. You may not be absorbing your nutrients,
or your drug therapies may be depleting you. Those types of issues are not genetic, but are situational.
