How MyGenHome was born
The idea of MyGenHome comes from the experience of one of the founding partners, whose son fell ill with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when he was only 6 years old.
After 2 years of difficult therapy, he recovered from blood cancer, but the long therapy unfortunately gave rise to a complex series of psychological symptoms including impulsivity, short attention span and reduced executive skills and restlessness.
The parent decided to investigate whether the son's symptoms were a precise consequence of the interaction of some specific drugs used by the very same therapy that saved his life and his particular genetic characteristics (DNA).
What he discovered was dazzling!
Analysing the son's genome, they discover the presence of a very impacting mutation on the methylation cycle (MTHFR).
Genetic predisposition and external stimulus had led the child to develop some of his problems linked to the inability by his genes to sufficiently express those enzymes essential to produce neurotransmitters such as Dopamine, Serotonin and GABA.
After a few months, after a careful diet rich in bio-available folate (vitamin B9), specific pro-biotics, careful supplementation, and a change in life-style the symptoms disappear and he returns to being a calm, attentive and happy child winning again music competitions.
