    The question is, if only VDR is 'switched/bad/good' or whatever, or other genes may be questioned as well? As we do have as base for comparison only Yasko report from here/LW compared to Yasko/knowyourgenetics - is the only one black-sheep.....

    VDR Bsm and VDR Taq

    I'm having trouble understanding the consequences of SNPs in these 2 versions of vit D receptor genes. For starters; Genetic Genie reported that I'm VDR Bsm +/+ and, per definition, VDR Taq -/-. On their website they explain that these 2 normally are inverse to each other (althought this is not always the case, they state). But then, Livewello reports me being +/+ on both Bsm and Taq, and so does Nutrahacker.

    How can this be? Is there a mistake in the reports of either Genetic Genie, or Livewello and Nutrahacker? And if so, or if not, what are the consequences for me? I think that in case of a -/- Taq SNP, one has to take extra vitamin D. But I also read that +/+ Bsm should not take too much vitamin D because they will risk auto-immune issues. So, because the reports on my Taq status are not reliable I do not kwow whether I NEED al lot of extra vit D because of -/- taq (knowing that low vit d status can lead to all sorts of diseases including auto-immune), or should not supplement at all because of the auto immune risk with +/+ Bsm.

    Ik haven't been able to find any information on this subject.

    Can anyone clarify this for me?

    It's worth adding that I've seen the same reports for a friend of mine, and in his case the 3 before mentioned variance reports were also inconsistent regarding VDR Bsm and Taq status. It is not just me and my reports that are puzzling.

    Thanks!
