Genetic testing
 
Just ordered my genetic test kit. I will have to see how to get an interpretation of raw data, but I know where to upload the report, once I have it, to find my methylation profile. I'm not so keen on finding relatives in some distant part of the world, as I am to find the causes of my neurological problems.

Has anyone got experience with genetic tests? And with their interpretation?

I ran mine through Genetic Genie. It provided some explanation with my mutations that pointed me in a direction to follow for dietary changes/supplements. Can't link it here for you but you can Google it.

That one is on my list, thanks. Hope their explanations were clear enough. I know exactly nothing about genetic issues and I don't think I will have appetite or time to study it extensively :P

This is a start.

There is a poster on PN who looked up SNPs. I'll look for her
posts, later.

It was easy enough to find a program for methylation mutations, but since they shut down the medical analysis arm of 23&me in 2013, how do we now go about researching or raw genetic data? For me, especially how it pertains to PN?

I've read some articles from Dr. Amy Yasko, who recommends diet and supplementation for various methylation pathway mutation SNP's. Her work addresses how these mutations may play a role in autism, but for me, at least she provided a roadmap. If you have this, do this, kind of approach...

I will go through Genetic Genie, jenng. Couldn't find anything else.
