I spent the $299 to get
testing through 23andMe last month, and it was very nerve wracking to wait to
find out my test results.
I got the email that
they received my results on 11-8 at their lab. On 11-20, I got my
e-mail showing that my results are ready.
The results showed that I have a high risk of thrombosis. This is due to FVL
and another mutation called MTHFR.
23andMe uses what is
called SNP's for their results.
So I searched for groups
dealing with MTHFR to have them decipher my results, and this was what they
said:
That put me with ~43% of the population that has 1 mutation on either of
the SNPs.
So what now? Now, I need to educate me on what MTHFR is.
I felt no need to do so previously, because I had never been tested for this,
but it is apparent that I have it.
The rest is very complicated and complex. I will speak to my new high risk obgyn about his thoughts and update you with a blog.
