I have homozygous mutations at COMT Val158Met (aka rs4680 aka Warrior/Worrier SNP). It is one of the most studied SNPs vis a vis personality. It is a marker of extraversion, introversion and ambiversion. Looks like you are AA there. Do you experience yourself as introverted? I'd start studying it on SNPedia and zeroing in on any of the studies that seem relevant. I see a MD who practices Integrative Medicine. He uses this chart in his practice. He took one look at my results and suggested Lithium Orotate 5 mg once a day with breakfast for COMT V158M. MAO-A I'm wild type GG ,but I do have some suggestions. You are heterozygous for one of the high homocysteine mutations MTHFR A1298C so you might want to have your homocysteine tested. (I'm heterozygous for MTHFR C677T and have very high homocysteine untreated). If your homocysteine is high, you might want to take a supplement containing balanced folate (not folic acid), B-12 and B-6 such as Metanx. Also take B-2 for your MAO-A rs6323 mutation. Or a good B-complex. Last but not least, for your VDR Bsm mutation which I also have, you may want to take Vit D in the am before breakfast like my Integrative Medicine MD has me do. He has me take it as an emulsion, Bio-D-Mulsion Forte. The way he has me take it is to about 30 minutes prior to eating. squeeze three little drops on my wrist and lick them off. Here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Biotics-Research-Bio-D-Mulsion-Forte-Vitamin/dp/B004HGF69I Hope this helps! btw I'm not bi-polar, so you might want to run my suggestions by the MD who is treating you.

Learning about genomics and your DNA is going to take time, but it's optional after all. Head to a health-care provider or a genetic counselor if you need advice and don't want to spend your own time on this.

If you do want to spend time, here are some "Genomics 101" resources:

  • 23andMe
  • Illumina
  • SNPedia's Glossary

    A book that's OK is What's In Your Genes?, also available for Kindle.

    And if you prefer videos, on YouTube you can find a lot of hucksters and academics peddling promises and products, but some that are more educational include:

  • 23andMe's Genomics 101 five 2-4 minute videos
  • Genomes & Evolution a series of eight 5-12 minute videos in the 'Stated Clearly' animated series, although more about evolution than human genomics.

    As for podcasts, we haven't come across any that are that educational, honestly. They tend to be interviews or news blurbs.

    Learning takes time.
