no but i researched it and found the meanings. heterozygous means having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes. polymorphism means the presence of genetic variation within a population, upon which natural selection can operate. mthfr (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) means important enzyme of the folate pathway that maintains the methyl pool required for regulatory functions and conversion of homocysteine to methionine. and genes is the make up of your body.
so your have copys of the mthfr and c677t polymorphism that lowers the mthfr enzymes.
