question about passage in Genetic Bypass book

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am COMT+- and VDR BSM/Taq +-.

In the COMT+- VDR Bsm/Taq +- section of the book it says

" ... because he/she is COMT+- and VDR Bsm/Taq +-, he/she will behave

more like a COMT++ individual in terms of their responses to most methyl

donors... "

Can anyone explain what this means ? What I am thinking is that the

COMT+- will result in more methyl groups since it is downregulating the

methylation of dopamine and the VDR Bsm/Taq +- will result in more

methyl groups because it results in less dopamine to be methylated.

Also, what are the consequences of having excess methyl groups in the

body ?

Hi Rich,

Thanks for responding. That interpretation makes sense to me. But this

one from the autismanswer forum does not.

If COMT+-

with

VDR Bsm --

VDR Taq--

they may react to detox or supplements like a COMT++

If COMT+-

with

VDR Bsm ++

VDR Taq ++

they may react to detox or supplements like a COMT-

Anyone have any idea what Dr. Amy is trying to say here ?
