Default Making sense of MTHFR

I did genetic testing about 7 years ago but all I can find on the results relating to MTHFR is this:

We evaluated the following markers
Gene: MTHFR
Marker: rs1801133
Your Genotype: T/T

Does it mean anything?

I also just noticed I am a carrier of Galactosemia. Never heard of it.

That's "MTHFR C677T", and you have a double whammy on it (two bad copies). If you just Google that complete term, you'll find a lot written about it.

This page does a good job explaining it in relatively simple English, but I can't speak to the accuracy of what it says.

I can't answer that. I'm just currently doing as much reading and research as I can based on all my methylation mutations.
