supposedly many people have the MTHFR which leads to anemia if you don't eat enough green leafy vegetables. Popeye may have been on to something with the spinach. https://www.parsleyhealth.com/blog/mthfr-mutation/ "Symptoms of an MTHFR gene mutation

MTHFR mutations affect everyone differently, and symptoms can vary from long-term health issues to hardly noticeable changes in overall health. Research has shown an association between MTHFR mutations and several health problems including:

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
Autism
Autoimmune disease and thyroid issues
Cardiovascular disease
Chronic fatigue
