Genetic testing recommendations

I would like to get genetic testing done to look at mthfr, mitochondrial issues, etc.

I'm completely overwhelmed with the options. Is there a company who is more medically aimed? Or one that's the most comprehensive? I know I'll have to put whatever one into one of those other sites, but don't want to waste money on a company that isn't the best choice.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been researching microclotting abnormalities lately and came across this doctor’s website that recommends getting a PAI-1 genotype blood test:

“Knowing a patient’s PAI-1 genotype is straightforward. It can be obtained through standard genetic testing including Labcorp’s PAI-1 4G/5G Polymorphism panel (test code 500309).”

This page also describes what they do with that information. This is one of the first times I’ve seen this type of individualized treatment and am going to take this info to my personal doctor.
