What is the Pathway Genomics test? Does it reveal MTHFR variations that require people to take more methylfolate, B12 and B6? How does it inform our choices about diet, exercise, and nutraceuticals? Are there concerns about confidentiality in divulging genetic findings to employers, insurance companies, and government databases? Why are Pathway Genomics genetic profiles only available via health providers and not direct-to-consumers? Click HERE for part 2.
